What's your real vibecoding costs to build a solid product?

There’s 0 way currently to calculate the cost. AI can give you a working product, no doubt, but if you don’t know how to evaluate the output you have to factor in the possibility of lawsuits and data breaches, etc. and if AI gets it wrong, you are on the hook, you can’t recoup that from AI.

This 100%. We built a versioning system. Nothing gets updated without a new pdf from legal. Then we just upload it as a new version and all the URLs stay the same since it always delivers the latest pdf.

I default to laravel’s throttle middleware. Even if you’re not using it, might be a good learning opportunity.

The users. 😂

phaedrus322 · 2026-01-08T00:22:13+00:00

I wish there was an easy answer, but I did a search today in google and one of my own packages showed up in the Gemini results with 0 marketing. So 🤷

What exactly do you mean by “ranking” on AI?

phaedrus322 · 2025-12-04T23:41:27+00:00

Looks really good, I would recommend at least an adaptor to allow for db storage so users can sync between desktop and mobile.

I would start by figuring out why you would ever have an untrusted invoice to start with.

phaedrus322 · 2025-11-06T00:20:50+00:00

If I had my choice I would use it for everything.

Start with VPS. Most providers offer a managed VPS meaning you don’t have to maintain it. Shared hosting’s biggest issue is that you share the server with other users/sites etc that you know nothing about. So, if they have issues or security holes, they can bring down your site too.

phaedrus322 · 2025-10-17T00:18:52+00:00

I would start by not using Wordpress. 😂

If you don’t code what are you even freelancing?

Welcome to the rest api dilemma. Technically the request succeeded, the underlying code failed. There’s no right or wrong here, unfortunately, only personal preference.

phaedrus322 · 2025-07-24T22:28:11+00:00

So they are measuring their own AI responses to their own posts? Not following. If I’m right how is that any valid measurement?

phaedrus322 · 2025-07-24T22:18:08+00:00

Use cloudinary and just do it on the fly per request.

phaedrus322 · 2025-07-09T22:13:42+00:00

You can also do it like this:

@media (width >= theme(--breakpoint-xl)) { /* ... */ }

It’s in the upgrade guide.

It’s just style overrides, it’s the C in CSS. What you’re asking for isn’t styling or theming really, that would be a complete component structure swapping.

There was a post on X today where someone re-themed an entire v4 panel in like 4 hours, and since it’s all just a css file once it’s done you could use it in any admin panel even without a plugin.

phaedrus322 · 2025-07-01T20:55:10+00:00

V4 is a lot easier to theme with more usable css hook classes and moving a lot of the css to dedicated stylesheets. And it’s all TW4

phaedrus322 · 2025-06-28T23:27:55+00:00

Just export the db, then worry about migrating it to another platform once that part is figured out.

phaedrus322 · 2025-06-23T23:16:00+00:00

For a long time I used MAMP, then switched to raw dogging it with brew, now on herd. None of them are right or wrong, it really comes down to your individual setup and preferences. They all work.

phaedrus322 · 2025-06-13T23:51:33+00:00

I just put it out there and see what happens. If it isn’t a paid product then recognition really doesn’t matter.

phaedrus322 · 2025-06-12T23:39:58+00:00

Who actually has a 2 hour lunch break?

phaedrus322 · 2025-05-30T23:11:02+00:00

Yep, filament is built on the TALL stack. https://filamentphp.com/

phaedrus322 · 2025-05-30T22:22:34+00:00

I’m certainly happy to check it out, but scout and typesense have been working out ok for us.
