Wherever you code (online, CLI, or IDE), everyone has some love, hate or horror vibe coding stories, from building a prod-ready app in minutes to the whole repo got wiped. Would love to hear your story.
I ve been using Pencil.dev for a few days and honestly it s a big paradigm shift for how fast you can explore UI. I'm loving it!!
One thing I bumped into: I still need to move some screens into Figma to polish details, collaborate, and keep everything in the same place as the rest of our design work.
When my wife Noa and I heard that MTV was officially shutting down, it felt like the end of an era. As 90s kids, we missed that specific "linear" experience the joy of just turning on the TV and being surprised by a music video without an algorithm getting in the way.
Over the last year, I ve been experimenting more with local-first patterns , apps that prioritize offline functionality and sync later instead of depending on constant server calls.
What used to feel experimental now feels surprisingly stable. Faster UI, fewer loading states, and a smoother user experience overall.
I rebuilt a small side project recently with a local-first approach, and the difference in responsiveness was noticeable. But it also introduced new challenges around conflict resolution and state consistency.
This term has been coined by someone and there are already more than 80 products that you could put in this category. Looking at the numbers, it's growing pretty fast.
I didn t build our internal compliance tracking tool the traditional way.
I vibecoded it.
Instead of long PRDs, heavy sprint planning, and weeks of back-and-forth, I stayed close to the problem and built in tight feedback loops shipping small, observing behavior, and iterating fast.
With improved generative models now being widely available, we re reaching a point where we can get full front-end code and simple functioning code for apps from a single prompt. What are the factors that determine whether development roles can be replaced by models? What s our added value as humans?
As a data engineer who has little experience in full-stack software development, I ve been experimenting with vibe coding tools to move fast in the early stages.
My flow looked like this:
Prototyped the main UI in V0 (after 300+ iterations/conversations back and forth)
With new tools coming almost every month and old tools becoming better. What is your vibe coding or AI setup that you use in your day to day life.
What IDE, what model for what task and other details of your flow. I use
- Gemini CLI
- VS Code with openai models in chat
- Claude for making specs
