“ I've looked at three non-engineer vibe-coded businesses in the past month, and can tell that without taste, they're building a pretty mediocre product at best.”

Are you doing this altruistically for friends - or as a consultant?

Both a) to help a friend out and b) to help non-technical founders I've meet at some Meetups/AI events to launch their product. My short-term goal is to put together a checklist/cheatsheet for all the technical things someone needs to do to launch a business because it's not just having a webapp running on Vercel with Supabase. And if they do have an app, is it a complete mess or not.

I think the solo-founder hype is an overplayed unless the person has the right skills, and even worked at a tech company, and knows what they're getting into. Alerting and monitoring for example is one of like 30 things they should be aware of.
