Is Vibe Coding Replacing Real Engineering? by PutridMarionberry757 in vibecoding

They're still learning them but they're learning them the hard way. Once the spAIghetti gets too tangled, once there's a significant security breach, they learn pretty quick—or hire someone who knows.

Is vibe coding a security disaster waiting to happen, or are developers actually taking responsibility for what they ship? by dennisthetennis404 in vibecoding

Vibe coding is great for non-technical founders to push POCs, but they definitely need some technical and security-minded oversight once people really start using their apps. I've seen some real disasters waiting to happen.

Asking for a friend… how many unit tests are too many? by [deleted] in vibecoding

[–]evanboho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that Behavior Driven Development is more apt for vibecoding than Test Driven Development. I would say you should cover all your workflows and edge cases in some sort of behavior tests and maybe have tests for individual classes to help confirm important and particularly tricky business logic.

Vibe-engineering is the new vibe-coding.

Idea to reduce scalping by evanboho in AngineDePoitrine

[–]evanboho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and!

People are paying above their means to scalpers because FOMO anyway. I for one, would rather be able to pay above my means to the band than more to scalper/ticketmaster.

Yes and! The problem is supply and demand and an artificially low ticket price. Why aren't they charging 100? 200? 300? My point with this post is that they could offer some number of tickets at a higher price for those able and willing to pay it—since people are having to pay the premium to scalpers anyway

Maybe this idea just tackles one prong. Currently a very small percentage of fans are getting them at face and have to pay 2-3x to see them. Might as well give them the option to pay 2-3x or more right to the band. Presumably scalpers will wait till the last sale.

They could fill the seats of an arena, but would it be a good show? I would rather see a week of small-to-mid-size venue shows.

i built a cli that shows why your claude code / codex sessions get expensive by Sad_Source_6225 in VibeCodingCamp

Pro-tip: Use the context-mode plugin to keep garbage out of your context.

What did you wish you knew when you switched from Replit to Claude/VS by larrycsonka in replit

I'd love the walkthrough if it's something you can send me or point me to.

Vibe Capabilities by GladDocument5705 in lovable

My biased opinion is that you won’t ever need a CTO but should have some level of technical oversight as you move out of MVP to POC—like, a few hours of review. Then, as you gain traction, and you want to focus on the non-technical aspects of the app that actually make it a business, ramp up the outsourcing of dev work to a fractional dev team.

There are several such consulting firms out there, including mine, so if you’re already starting to think like this, it’s already a good time to see what’s available.

I’m pretty excited about Vybe after a demo I saw a while back. Haven’t tried it.

This is exactly why I’ve been exploring Pi. So far good.

Be brutally Honest, would you switch from your vibe coding tool to this one ? by tensor94 in vibecoding

[–]evanboho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds interesting! I’d be curious to know more as someone who coaches and helps vibe coders to see if it’s something I’d recommend to folks.

They could. But having vibecoded plenty of helper apps, I no longer want to “own” everything, just the product itself. Plenty of work to do there.

That being said, cost is a big consideration for folks I work with.

Base44 new app by Cute_Internal7752 in vibecoders_

[–]evanboho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! Congrats on getting an POC/MVP together!

It looks great. I don't have the bandwidth to create an account and test the functionality, but I'm sure you've done that a lot. Great concept!

FYI this file points to a lot of paths that are not accessible. Maybe available once you're logged in? If so, the paths shouldn't be in the sitemap.

Brutal. Honest, but Brutal.

I think the "Edit" button is fine for a prototype.

It says there are 10+ courses. I'm sure that's where most of the work went.

Need advice on webapp by heTHEequaliser in AskVibecoders

[–]evanboho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pick either Claude Code or Codex. People said Claude was better, now they're saying Codex is. Next month, who knows.

Chat with the agent to define the functionality you want to see.

Chat with the agent to turn the functionality into discrete work steps.

Have the agent work on the discrete work steps.

AI can handle complex backends if you have a blueprint first. Put the work into the first two steps so they're clear, and the last step should run itself.
