🧠 The Dopamine Trap of "Vibe Coding" (and how I break out of it)
You spend 4 hours on Cursor or v0. You prompt, the AI generates, and your app comes to life right before your eyes. It s smooth, it s thrilling. An instant hit of dopamine. You feel like a tech genius.
Then comes the time to market it.
Suddenly, you have to open Meta Ads Manager, write hooks, script a video, fight the algorithm, and potentially face total market indifference. All that high energy immediately tanks. It s slow, it s thankless, and it s uncomfortable.
The brutal truth: Vibe Coding has made building so easy and addictive that we unconsciously use it as an excuse to procrastinate on distribution. We d rather stack a 12th feature in our safe space than go out and hunt for our first paying customer.
