This is a fascinating interview with the creator of ClawdBot. If you've ever heard of PSPDFKit, you've seen his work. It's fascinating to see how a developer who thinks differently is able to be hyper productive with AI coding tools. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lF7HmQ_RgY

That combined scenario is less common as a single integrated product. I think there are very close approximations but not sure if something proper like that exist yet, like an app builder which is also an Opensea for SaaS (or micro SaaS and even ideas and prototypes). I mean usually i find sites offering the building or the presentation of MVPs but why isn't stuff like cursor or lovable have a section where they present and market the products of their own customers? I've seen it only for pieces of UI to "remix" but not a full catalog of saas "made in the house" yet.

Just had a great conversation that covered the entire arc of software development — from legacy systems to modern AI-assisted shipping. Brad walked through how he shipped his first live web app running on Windows Server / IIS with a Microsoft SQL Server backend — largely guided by AI prompts, with real-world corrections applied using deep Windows experience. We then zoomed out into why vibe coding feels like a full-circle moment: after years in executive and business roles, AI agents make it possible to return to building without being blocked by today’s frameworks. What we covered - Shipping a live IIS + SQL Server app with AI-assisted deployment - Career arc: COBOL, punch cards, IBM System/360 → modern web apps - Why shipping something live (even basic) matters - Working through Corbin Brown’s Thumbio course - Using vibe coding to rapidly recreate complex apps Token limits & tooling reality We talked candidly about token limits and how heavy builders hit them fast. Several strategies came up: - OpenRouter for buying credits and routing across models - Using different models for different tasks (Gemini for frontend, Claude for coding) - Why open-source IDE agents move faster than locked tools Skills, MCP, and the future of agent workflows A big chunk of the conversation focused on Skills and why they matter. - Skills load metadata first, full instructions only when triggered - This enables progressive disclosure and smaller context windows - Skills act like a standardized “dotfile protocol” for AI tools - MCP handles tools; Skills handle instructions Product ideas sparked - Browser plugins that allow AI-driven changes within constraints (e.g. bulk calendar color rules) - Proposal & marketing document tools where users say: “Move the logo, add padding, center it” — no massive UI needed - Using Skills as customizable, client-specific branding & layout engines A powerful habit: prompts as source code One standout practice: - changes.md — what the AI changed in each session - prompts.md — every prompt used to get there
