It provided a working answer where he expected a wall.\nThe clearest example he offered was Fedideck. Fedideck is a TweetDeck-style app he built for the Fediverse, the network of apps including Mastodon and Blue Sky that filled the gap Twitter left when it killed off TweetDeck. Seth vibe coded it in Lovable, got a usable version in about an hour, and then kept going. In total, he spent roughly $500 in AI credits and close to 200 hours of iteration on what he and thousands of others now use.\nWhat Seth kept coming back to was the shift in posture required to use AI well. Typing into a chat window instead of building it yourself means learning to manage rather than execute. This requires explaining the task coherently enough that the work doesn’t wander off and waste tokens on the wrong thing.\nSeth was blunt about the alternative: One shot everything and you get something that looks finished and works terribly.\nSeth’s hope for AI is unglamorous by design. He wants it to help people work faster, better, and more completely without ever removing the human from the loop, and he has little patience for framing that treats the technology as an inevitability rather than a tool. The proof, for him, is his own day-to-day workflow.\nListen today on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts!\n\n0:01:20 The “now is gone” moment\n0:02:55 Building Fedideck in Lovable\n0:05:20 Learning to manage AI, not just use it\n0:07:22 Pushing back on AI hype\n0:09:18 Cutting podcast editing to one-to-one\n0:10:31 Where to find Seth\nHow to find Seth: https://social.sethgoldstein.me\nThe Entrepreneur’s Enigma podcast: https://entrepreneursenigma.com\nFedideck: https://fedideck.app","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3geCJ1VW0lJp_L0iMNFeYncMeLLmjyFI3vHgwOHbnAI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNDEy/Y2FmNGNjODJhZjk0/Njk1NzJkMjk0YmY5/YjdiMS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
