Six Months of Vibe-Coding, No Revenue
I built a real product by talking to machines for half a year. The thing I would not build was the one that pays: a sales call.
For six months I built, and I charged no one. Not a slow ramp, not a cautious soft launch. Zero revenue, and if I am honest, zero on purpose, without ever letting myself say the word "purpose" out loud.
Here is what got built in that time, because I want to be fair to the work. Six agents that hand tasks to each other. A multimodal rule engine. Forty-two proprietary computer-vision models. And, late, almost grudgingly, a three-step sales kit. I am not a traditional coder. I build by running AI, by sitting with task windows and describing what I want until it exists. People have started calling that vibe-coding, and for six months I was very, very good at it. The product is real. It works. And it earned nothing.
I want to write down why, because the reason is not the one I told myself, and if you build things, it is probably coming for you too.
