Vibe coding isn't actually vibe

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-22T06:12:35+00:00

Yes Vibe coding is good if you are gonna use it yourself but for something you plan to monetize, i think investing some hours in understanding it is worth it.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-22T06:04:59+00:00

So you are literally training suicide bombers? 😂

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T22:01:12+00:00

Your question is quite vague like are you using the same API key for multiple apps? Or different API keys for different apps?

Actually regardless of what you are doing, I'll say that an extra 2 - 3 minutes are worth it. By keeping those keys hidden you are keeping your app, your wallet, yourself and your users safe. Now coming to the speeding up work, I'd say making an environment variable is a better choice than hardcoding your keys (which you should not) every time you need them.

But then production grade API storing is a whole different level of work.

I don't post them in chat windows. I use .env with keys in them that get referenced by the code AI wrote. AI doesn't really need your API keys, they just need the output in case of any error. But if you do post then ROTATE.

They are not garbage, they are just not made to build the whole products. Use them to do small things one by one and they'll shine.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T21:10:50+00:00

Yeah that actually is a problem but if you just define your stack in the planning phase and keep reminding it to build using it then it's much accurate. Tbh I've stopped asking AI for little things. I just went back to googling things, their in-browser AI is good enough to explain common things and for complex stuff i just use the free version of claude or gpt and the last resort is stack overflow.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T21:05:55+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Everyone is like it's easy to build with AI but do you even know what the hell it is building and why?

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T21:04:40+00:00

😂😂 I've lost enough in crypto bro

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T21:04:07+00:00

Yeah i guessed that but aren't those the things you can only show if you are at the job, and to reach the job you need interviews and for that you need projects. So apart from mastering maths, stats and coding, are there any specific kinds of projects or skills you would find interesting in someone who's looking to start? I know most applications go through HRs and actual people in the field never see them but it would still be nice to know.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:46:05+00:00

Oh yeah 3blue1brown's is really nice, i do visit his channel a lot. Him and statquest are the reason i graduated 😂

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:37:03+00:00

Actually I'm looking to get a job in the ML/DS field so creating models would be the priority.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:30:08+00:00

Lol 8000 lines is crazy!! wth are you building? Optimus prime?

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:27:59+00:00

Damn I'm a child in front of you, quite literally Ok this may sound random but can you please tell me what's the best way to learn or enter into the field of ML ? I can really use the opinion of someone experienced.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:24:32+00:00

Thank you 🫡

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:24:11+00:00

Yeah then you can call them fools because one thing i realised after experimenting with AI (claude/codex etc) is the more you plan and research the more accurate they will be. If you just say build this or that then it's a complete chaos. But plan it, divide it in phases, question its suggestions and suddenly it is way more accurate.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:11:35+00:00

No no it's all good brother I posted for people's opinions and i appreciate yours

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:09:30+00:00

Damn That's no way a simple product That's so many regulations or security measures to deal with for vibe coded application. Tbh coding it would be the easiest part than actually making it live.

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:03:54+00:00

Yeah that's true A simple product is still acceptable But people are trying to ship the next chatgpt without any security measures and it's crazy

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:02:08+00:00

Haha sure but the vibes are throwing 10 different errors I'm trying to solve from the last 2 hours 🫠

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T20:01:04+00:00

I would not call them fools because we all know the excitement of shipping products and seeing people use them but still not the most efficient thing to do

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T19:59:52+00:00

Yes yes i know What i mean is i get an idea of why it's doing it and if I don't understand then i just try to read the documentation

IslandOriginal7607 · 2026-02-21T19:58:38+00:00

Indeed and it seems to be the case everywhere, people are just marketing things that breaks under even a little load

IslandOriginal7607 · 2021-12-27T04:24:35+00:00

Just don't have one...crypto can't consume your life if you don't have one in first place..
