alt Hacker News(I am currently 18 so you have actually been coding since more than two times my whole lifetime so y'know there's that.)
I wish to ask you for some feedback and clarity and further concrete resources because I feel a little confused/lost regarding the whole vibe-coding situation, I wish to say thanks in general though as nonetheless your comment finally made me concretely express all the nuances brewing in my stomach about vibe-coding and how I often nowadays feel as if I may be falling behind if I don't know how to do it "accurately", I would love and really appreciate to get a more in-depth response if possible.
I have said the same thing as you have said as well sometimes if not mostly that AI is a tool which should be used sensibly (as I think that this is what you are intending to say as well)
Within the contexts of vibe-coding though, I would really appreciate it if you could explain to me in more depth about the whole process and workflow that you follow if possible and how much drastic change has that been in. I would love some concrete examples or repositories or just some pointers that I can help to improve myself further.
Here are some other thoughts that I have on the matter:
When you mean design review, are you just architecturing suggesting it the main architecture itself, for example. I mostly do "create me a golang web application which uses htmx/templ/modernc sqlite about XYZ" and then create a more detailed prompt from it which I then pass onto the agent to complete and give me a single binary at.
Most often than not though after this point, I haven't felt the need to change the architecture after the first initial setup and afterwards I point the changes that I wish to be done like "I want X1 Y1 Z1 changes" and if it breaks something then just showcasing what breaks, and taking feedback then "it just works"
The architecture sounds solid to me, I love golang as a language and I run multiple such apps on same 500mb/1gb ram servers and use cf tunnels in the middle.
For styling, I mostly prefer monospace-web theme because that's what I personally really like a lot but recently I found that giving first prototype to chatgpt and asking it to generate image then it can create a decent UI as well.
An example website that fits the pattern: https://mirror.forum
So what are the things which I should do though now? Should I attempt at reading the code and trying to understand it completely (I think that golang's mostly standardized method of doing things helps in reading AI code) or should I treat myself as thinking more about (seams?) or other technical terms that I found described within obra/superpowers or matt-pocock and other skill driven development oriented stuff.
Can I learn these stuff through AI itself as well and I wish to generate my own projects as well because I still believe that there's some joy in that as well as I find vibe-coding to be sometimes a bit hollow[1] [not sure though as the atmosphere has changed, earlier people used to be extremely critic of it whereas now more accepting]
I can be wrong, I usually am but what I am finding the most shocking is that although we are constantly seeing new tools and I try to be more well aware of them and always curious about it, yet I don't know at the same time where to actually proceed because the projects are just being built enough yet I don't know if I am doing standardized practices enough or how to really meaningfully improve such practice if vibe-coding is really such valuable then I would prefer to learn the more technical way of doing so and how experts within the field actually do vibe-coding.
Thanks and have a nice day and I would love to hear your/the community's response.
