I think it’s a little weird to say he made 10’s of thousands from a game and in curious if it will last. Is the game good? I logged into the game and just thought to myself, holy billboards Batman!

He made 10’s of thousands from advertising right? It feels like most of what the does the lesson is if you follow the steps I take you can be an entrepreneur too which is mostly true, with the game it feels like, if you develop a following of millions and then create something that leaps to the front of the hype train people may give you money for a while. Which doesn’t feel like what most people are hoping from “vibe coding a game can make you 60k/month.”

But no shade to him.

He is a very typical 'build in the open' guy (he is more famous and makes more than most of them but his strategy is typical); there are very many on x and bsky; they build and launch fast, many of them launch 10+ products/year to see what sticks and when money comes in, they use those buyers to launch yet more products. As long as the barrage of products makes enough as a whole, you just need to keep pushing more and more. It works; it will never be a unicorn but it gives Levels and others a nice life without much stress and you are accountable to no one and product fail doesn't matter.

I hate the term vibe coding, but as I understand it, it means just blabbering to cursor (or so) with working code as a result; he didn't do that as cursor (or replit or whatever current) cannot do that for more than hello world; if you do not read the generated code and specifically correct it when the ai gets stuck, it simply won't work. Levels can read and write code; people who want to 'vibe code' often cannot.

I agree on all of this. I don't think this will be a sustainable venture but that doesn't matter, 2 of these unsustainable businesses lasting 1 month each is my salary..

And agreed in the case of this game, the success is all because of his following. Not so with his other products though, this is just a joke to him..

And his game is technically better than anything I can put together
