@theo | 2026-01-10

@NickADobos | 2026-02-24

真實 Build-in-Public 故事（有 day count）：

  • @umutdenizy：Day 192，花 $600/mo on 3x Claude Code MAX，5 個 terminal 同時 coding
  • @shippedbytim：Day 97，706 followers，緩慢但真實 grind

🎯 Key Debates / 派系

派系 1：Claude Code vs Cursor vs Codex

  • Claude Code 派：推崇 agentic coding，唔只係 autocomplete，係可以獨立完成任務
  • Cursor 派：IDE-integrated，對 non-coder 入門友善
  • Codex 派：OpenAI 出品，Codex App 被 @NickADobos 同 @coreyganim 並列提及
  • 核心爭議：@codewithimanshu 長 thread 引用 Boris Cherny 話法——Claude Code 係「architect level」工具，其他係 autocomplete。@_MaxBlade 反駁：「taste is 1000x more important than codex or claude code」
  • X 上共識：Claude Code = 最強 agentic tool，但 distribution > tools

派系 2：Service vs SaaS

Service 派（主流聲音）：

  • @Mike_Scully_：AI services agency，charge by outcome not by hour，7K per deliverable
  • @lukepierceops：One vertical agency → $220K MRR in 3 years
  • @trentjhughes：「9 ways to make $1M/year in AI right now」全部係 service model（agency、consulting、staffing）
  • @iamcamengland：「Install fully autonomous AI agent into your business in 7 days. If we don’t save you $50,000 in year one, you don’t pay.」

SaaS 派（indie hacker 圈）：

  • @andi_losing：tech stack for shipping SaaS continuously
  • @adriamatz：「make people pay $5.99/week…recurring revenue with almost zero overhead」
  • @EXM7777：Whop marketplace SaaS distribution hack
  • @vibecodeapp_：405 users added paywall in 24 hours

平衡論點（@fuckgrowth）： SaaS vibe coders 喺 distribution 上面死，而有 distribution 嘅 ($400K MRR) 根本唔怕被 claude app copy。

派系 3：Personal Brand vs Faceless

  • Personal Brand 主流： X 上面幾乎所有 top creator 都係個人品牌，Boris Cherny 本人效應最強
  • Faceless 嘗試： @kirillk_web3 提到「Japanese programmer automated everything with Claude Code, 10 accounts running 24/7 generating affiliate income」→ 係 clickbait style，低可信度
  • 共識： Build in Public = personal brand + transparency = X 上面最強 growth loop

派系 4：Optimists vs Skeptics

Optimists：

  • @NickADobos：「Compounding returns on this decision will be beyond unimaginable in 10 years」
  • @KingBootoshi：race to make money on $200 plan
  • @mckaywrigley：Claude Agent SDK = personal AGI now

Skeptics（同樣有 engagement）：

  • @thejayden：「Claude Code will not make you money if you let it run alone. AI should handle the heavy lifting, but it must be supervised.」(178 likes)
  • @om_patel5：security disaster story (1,484 likes)
  • @_MaxBlade：「taste is 1000x more important than claude code」
  • @danmall：agency owners fear 是否 obsolete → 建議「when execution is no longer the thing you sell, what is?」

@hiro44_pinoChatGPT Agent vs Manus vs Genspark 比較

🇭🇰 中文 / 香港派

直接搜尋「Claude Code 賺錢」+ 「AI agent 副業」結果：

  • HK 英文 X 用戶：基本上係 follow 英文圈，冇獨立 Claude Code monetization 討論
  • 中文 X（日本、台灣、東南亞）：有 AI 副業討論，但主要係 ChatGPT / Grok / 一般 AI tools，唔係 Claude Code 專題
  • 日文圈 @Hoshino_AISales 做咗非常系統嘅 AI副業 Tier 表，值得參考
  • 結論：中文 X 圈 Claude Code 討論係 2026年4月嘅空白地帶 → 呢個係 Steven 嘅機會

💡 對 Steven 嘅 Implications

1. 市場現狀（X 上面嘅共識）

X 上面「Claude Code 賺錢」分兩大話題：

  • Service model（做 AI agency / freelancer）→ 主流，7K per project，易入門
  • SaaS model（build 自己嘅 app）→ 難在 distribution，唔係 coding 問題

最大 consensus：Distribution > Building ability（@fuckgrowth 嘅論點最多 bookmark）

2. Hook 公式分析

高 engagement 帖文用嘅 Hook pattern：

Hook Type例子Likes
「X changed Y in Z days」“$151K MRR added in 87 days”94
「X does what took Z」「college kid did $45K with Claude Code」2,545
「Nobody talks about X but…」「Everyone talks Claude Code but nobody talks about making money」411
「The only 4 tools I use」Claude / Claude Code / n8n / Notion161
「If you want X, here’s the exact playbook」Agency roadmap $220K MRR153
Controversy / warning「vibe coder’s database got wiped」1,484

3. 對 Steven Course 嘅課程定位建議

英文市場已有嘅 angles（唔要重複）：

  • How-to freelance with Claude Code
  • Build SaaS overnight -「Make $X while you sleep」（被過度使用，信任度低）

X 上面嘅 gap（Steven 可以入的）：

  • 「Course Creator / Coach 用 Claude Code 建立 content engine」 → MichLieben $151K MRR 話題熱，但香港導師圈完全冇人做
  • 「唔識 code 嘅人點用 Claude Code 賺錢」 → 中文圈完全空白
  • 「Distribution first，then build」 → 呢個論點係 X 上面最多 bookmark 嘅角度，但冇中文版
  • 「AI agency 香港版」 → Mike_Scully 嘅 7-way framework + 本地化 pricing

4. Buyer Psychology（從 X 討論抽出）

主要擔憂（Objections）：

  • 「Claude Code 唔係真係幫人賺錢，係幫 Anthropic 賺錢」（@theo 點出定價策略）
  • 「AI code 係 security risk」（@om_patel5 disaster story 1.5K likes）
  • 「vibe coding = slop，冇 taste 就唔會有 users」（@_MaxBlade）
  • 「你需要 supervise AI，唔係 fully autonomous」（@thejayden，178 likes）

主要欲望：

  • 「建立一個 make money while I sleep 嘅系統」
  • 「唔識 code 都可以 ship 產品」
  • 「Distribution 問題係真正難題」—— 大家都知 build 唔係問題

5. 課程賣點建議

基於 X 數據，Steven 嘅「AI Agent 賺錢課程」最強 hook angle：

主打 angle： 「你唔係要學 coding，你要學 distribution + AI system building」

  • 痛點：「你已經識用 Claude Code，但係你 app / content / service 有幾多人知道？」
  • 轉化：「$400K MRR creator 唔怕 vibe coders，因為佢有 distribution。我教你點建立」
  • 社會證明：X 上面 Boris Cherny 教學 15K bookmarks → 「連 creator 都去學，你呢？」
