Hey folks,

I m building SaaS product on a ramen budget. The painful surprise? My burn on must have SaaS and Cloud is eclipsing what I can put into marketing and product.

I keep hearing legends about founders stacking thousands in AWS credits or discounts. But every blog post feels dated or locked behind an accelerator gate.

If you ve personally snagged legit credits (not referral spam), could you share:

Lately, I ve been reflecting on the quiet fear that, as AI tools become better at creating art, writing, and design, creativity itself might lose its meaning.

It feels like a valid concern because:

• AI can produce beautiful art and music faster than a human ever could,

• Many creative fields are shifting from original creation to "curating" or "editing" AI outputs,

• Instant generation often replaces slow, imperfect human exploration,

• Younger generations are growing up with AI co-creation as the norm, not the exception.

I wonder:
Will true creativity still matter when "good enough" is instantly available?

Is it truly vibe coding if there aren't tunes making the vibes...well...vibey. Thought it'd be fun to put together a YouTube playlist of what everyone listens to when building! I'll take all the links and make a playlist on YouTube after a couple of days :)
Just drop the link and tag the tool that you mostly use. I'll start!
I vibe with Black Coffee and mostly use @Cursor!
