1. Danilowicz says his team spent about 9 months pivoting until they found 10 users who loved them, meaning they paid for and used the product.
2. His prompting advice is to spend 10 minutes bringing in existing context like skills or your design system, which he says saves hours later.
3. Reviewing startup sites, Danilowicz flags vibe-coded signs like overdone animation, scroll jacking, glowing buttons, default fonts such as Instrument Serif, and buried calls to action.

5. To build design taste, Danilowicz suggests looking at beautiful things and reading The Design of Everyday Things, and his whole team does customer support.
