"i don't think the vibe platforms need traditional plug-ins . after all they have access to the entire internet including every piece of open source software They just build the plug-in I think what will happen is there will be some sort of validated components. That are sort of guaranteed to work in the platform. It's complex but would be super valuable Sort of like how Replit has its own SSO that just . works. We need that In the end I guess . plug-ins ;). It's just the platform will try to build any plug-in in you need so bar is high. Has to be bulletproof"

"So now I've decided to focus on just X thing: - How can I get a vibe coded commercial app securly into production I no longer care if it's hosted in Replit anymore. I no longer care how. The ideation-to-production-all-in-one-simple-platform experiment is over. Now it's about GSD and finishing for real. I still want to avoid infra headaches at ALL costs. So hiring a dev shop or just magically "moving to Claude Code" isn't my favorite answer. Because then I inherit all the infra and maintenance headaches. That I want desperately to avoid. But security now is Job #1-#5. The issues I had in the"

And also I sent a very flattering email on Replit to 200000+ SaaStr subscribers However if ANYONE had actually reached out to HELP me for real even just a little but for real a lot of my headaches could have been avoided.

"The Replit Story: X Years in the Making Then Everything Changed 🏗 Founded in 2016 by Amjad Masad Replit spent years as a browser-based coding platform struggling to monetize. By 2022: just $1M ARR. End of 2024: $10M ARR. 🚀 Then Replit Agent launched in September 2024 - enabling anyone to build full apps with natural language prompts. 📈 The result $10M to $100M ARR in X months. 10x growth. XX% monthly subscriber growth since Agent launch. 💡 The lesson: Sometimes you build the infrastructure for years waiting for the right moment.

Rule #00001 my CTO taught me: never ever never ever touch the production database. Even in 2005 when we launched the first version of EchoSign / Adobe Sign everything broke. But the database was sacrosanct. In 2025 X Billion+ contracts later I think no contracts were ever lost in DB. A few corrupted but none lost. Yet Replt went rogued and destroyed our production DB last night. During a code freeze when it knew to touch nothing. And agreed to touch"

The software is so so so cool. But now Im slowing it down. And thinking about what it takes to build Great Software. What the tools planning timing and more than it takes.

Perhaps what helped was switching back to Claude X Sonnet from Opus X Not only is Claude X Sonnet literally 1/7th the cost but it was much faster I am sure there are complex use cases where Opus X would be better and I need to learn when.

And then maybe at 8pm . 9pm . i fired up Replie again And I told Replie I just wanted to bounce an idea off him how our AI would work And . here is where Replie shines. He got it. Instantly. He knew what I wanted to build from the detailed prompt and description. He really really got it. And he suggested X interesting approaches. I told him cool let's lock the system down no changes let me sleep on it. And then . Replie asked the question: "Would you like me to prototype it" I couldn't help myself. I was right back in. And the prototype"

Then I spend 12+ hours over the weekend just doing QA + fixes and it looked better at first . but . by the end things were working worse. My app is basically just: - algo (with AI) - dashboard - email / workflow By Day X I'd finally sort of gotten the algo + dashboard"

Here's the real playbook: The Math Behind the Madness VCs don't just write one check and walk away. They reserve 2-3x their initial investment for follow-on rounds. But where that money goes isn't randomit's ruthlessly calculated. Stage 1: Seed/Series A Limited capital = binary decisions Only one filter: fastest growth rates Triple-digit growth You get XXX% of available reserves Everything else Radio silence Stage 2:"

At least i think so"

"A quick summary of what you can and cant replace with AI today: - Outbound SDRs: you can replace most SDRs with AI today possibly XXX% but you still need humans managing it. IF you truly go deep train a platform and orchestrate it daily. But this requires a human and later a team to manage it. Every single day. You cant just push a button. - Inbound BDRs: you can replace almost all of them with AI. If its well trained. An AI should be able to qualify a lead faster and better than XX% of BDRs can. Today. You do need to keep training it and checking it and updating it. Every day at first"

How can I make sure our production database is stable since it is shared with preview and since Replit can change it anytime without telling me Do I have to move it off Replit Many of you have ideas here thank you We will see But in many ways the second issue which is related is the biggest one. #2. How can I get Replit to honor a code freeze So far no one has an answer here. I tried the extremely extensive (and borderline alarming) prompt Claude suggested. That worked until it didnt. Once"
