53. Why Your Vibe Code Needs Tests, Ditching SaaS & AI Agents That Work While You Sleep

James and Kieran get into the practical, unglamorous side of building software with AI that nobody seems to talk about. After a HubSpot integration silently broke his video testimonial app in front of a client, Kieran shares his journey into writing automated tests, and how Claude wrote a full test suite in five minutes that would have taken a developer a week. They also cover replacing paid SaaS tools with custom-built alternatives (blogging platforms, course hosting, even a video-to-scope tool for freelance clients), why Convex is generating buzz as a Supabase alternative, how Apple and Shopify app stores are buckling under the wave of AI-generated submissions, and running OpenClaw agents autonomously in Slack as a marketing team of one. Plus a first look at Anthropic's brand new scheduled tasks feature and what it means for running AI workflows without keeping your laptop open.
