Original Summary

he told me he could vibe code what we've took me years (i run a gtm data platform) he probably could, the part you see is simple: upload a list of leads, get emails and company data back but remember the guy last year who built his SaaS entirely in cursor and went viral for it? two days later people were bypassing his paywall and burning through his API keys, he shut down within a week, the product worked, the money side killed it We don't have emails sitting in a database.. we ask one data provider, and if they don't have it, we ask the next, that's 9 providers per email on average, so before we charge anyone for one row, we're already paying nine companies a job crashes at row 40k, retries and now a customer has paid twice for the same email, we have 133 places in our code that force the charge to zero, each one is a day we found out we'd billed someone for nothing. none of these providers are ours and each has its own limit on requests at once, one says 8. In reality it's 7 So half our work is traffic control, millions of rows running at once, all slowed to whatever the weakest provider can handle I'm proud of knowing which provider to ask first, it's completely different for a lead in berlin, bangalore or boston. nobody can document that, hv learned it by getting it wrong on real data for two years so to that founder.. build it, seriously   submitted by   /u/Comprehensive-Pay530 [link]   [comments]
