After GitHub Became Like Xiaohongshu: Building Products Has Become Even More Lonely
GitHub stars are instant, but shipping something usable is a slog. I explain why vibe coding doesn't close the gap: what Jobs and Zhang Xiaolong share.

GitHub stars are instant, but shipping something usable is a slog. I explain why vibe coding doesn't close the gap: what Jobs and Zhang Xiaolong share.
Aima Service retrospective: like an ER, users want care, not decor. One week with Claude Code + Codex, we shipped 1.3M lines; the code-volume moat is gone.
DeepSeek hit 100M with zero budget; Claude Code ships every 1.1 days; DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom copied a feature in 3 days. Money & buzz don't decide results.
Claude Opus 4.6 built a plugin in 30 min after two days with one model. An AI agent unlocked my PC in 30 min. I built Aima Service for AI help on any device.
Zero-friction onboarding and strong AI can't sustain an agent. Users seeing opaque terminal commands feel fear, not awe. The missing pillar is gradual trust.
Five paradigms—prompts/RAG/fine-tuning/knowledge graphs/context engineering—in three years. Models improve, yet we can't make agents work in products.
Coding agents cut MVP costs to a few hundred yuan a day, ending the old ideation funnel. The bottleneck is now hypothesis generation, not execution.
