I wrote this to a friend in 2022:
Here's an idea: reverse kickstarter
1. people post ideas
2. good ideas go viral
3. people pledge actual money to encourage someone to step forward and build it
4. interested creators make kickstarter type videos explaining their proposal for making the thing
5A. people vote on which proposal to accept, or maybe
5B. each backer can select a project to support
---
Here steps 4 and 5 are replaced by Claude.
Cool idea!
Shouldn't we still have people in the loop for selecting/proposing the best implementation (plan)? Vibe coding an entire solution from a prompt still doesn't feel like the optimal way to write software.
At some point you have to say "Is not having it better than having it?" Where's your dude, today, who's gonna code this? If it were gone happen, it wouldve.
We are not there yet... and Fable makes me feel like it will be a while before we get there.
It also occurs to me now that the Claude version has about 3 fewer zeros at the end of the funding target.
That seems to massively lower the bar for people investing.
not with prompts but "loops" maybe.
