Most vibe coding projects die: ship fast demos, don't burn tokens on big bets

Developer leo114119 argues most vibe coding projects die before launch — one dev burned countless Claude Max 20 quotas on a project that flopped pre-release. Coding is no longer scarce; users want a service, not a single product. His advice: ship quick demos, validate small, iterate on positive feedback, and build community — don't hoard tokens for a big reveal. Attached screenshot shows the dev admitting it was a "fake need" after sleepless nights.
