I do not use MCPs at all. I use Claude Code, Continue CLI, Qwen Code, Gemini CLI all with git and github directly on command line. They use commands very well. My workflow is git and github based, easy to go through tasks in branches, git worktrees, CI pipelines, etc. I barely see the code these days. Feel free to poke at the repos: https://github.com/brainless, happy to share anything I can...

I maintain all my prompts in local documents and then update this playbook: https://nocodo.com/playbook The playbook is part of my own offering and I am working on it more seriously since the traffic has increased. I run lots of code generation experiments, keep updating prompts and then update this page. I always try to create helper scripts which help in static analysis or data management so...

Vibe coders, How do you document your past implementations?

Businesses not wanting to start from scratch is awesome but I would then focus on great experience - using existing open source business apps and create a prompt based playbook on them. It makes adding features if the prompts have good guardrails. In the end, people want something solved for their workflow and unless that happens, everything is a template and business is stuck.

I pay $20 / month for Claude Pro (Claude Code). Use Continue CLI with Qwen3 Coder (I have some Scaleway credits), Gemini CLI (free tier), Qwen Code (free tier). Very structured approach and works wonders for me. These are all vibe coded: https://github.com/brainless/letsorder - this is live and usable as a demo micro SaaS vibe coded https://github.com/brainless/brainless.in - live, my personal...

Is anyone else dropping $$$ on vibe coding tools, or am I just burning cash?

I am planning to consult early stage products as a "vibe coder". I am a senior engineer so I can guide the project but I was very skeptical when I started this journey a couple months back. I have posted about my experiments in multiple places but "proof of the pudding is in the eating". So I am soon launching a vibe coded micro SaaS, sources available for anyone to learn from....

If you have not used Claude Code, maybe I can inspire you with a website I created

Hey folks, Sumit here from my little Himalayan village. I recorded this as I created my website nocodo.com and made it live. The content work has not started. This is only the basic layout/structure of the website for my AI/vibe coding related content. Video: Vibe Coding: Create a Static Website with Astro, Tailwind and Markdown for Content In the 20 minutes video, I go through: Use Claude.ai...

I started a video series on vibe coding

Hey everyone, I have started a video series (on YouTube) on vibe coding. I just published the third video: https://youtu.be/Y-BHIeOe7cE The series will have hands-on videos where I build a product through the series or they will be on topics important to vibe coding. In the video linked above, I talk about the learning (engineering) mindset needed for vibe coding. The series is aimed at...

I generally do not ask high level architecture questions or when I do, I do that to break the task into tickets. My case may be different because I am a software engineer. My main benefit is when the ticket is clear, I can assign it to an AI pair and move on to other things, for example, looking at Product Hunt. I spend a lot more time away from the desk these days. My usual flow is: Take the...

What's the biggest benefit of coding with an AI pair?

Since all my vibe coded projects are in the same computer, I can tell Claude Code to look into existing implementation of some feature from the other project. Also, I take parts of Claude.md file from other projects. Eventually, I think, I will keep a list of all frameworks/libraries that I prefer and use into a separate file and just initiate new projects with that.

What tools are you using and what is frustrating you?

Hello everyone, Sumit here from the Himalayas. I hope everyone is having a relaxed weekend. My workflow with vibe coding has settled pretty well as I get more and more time out of desk while Claude Code builds the software. I wanted to offer any assistance to fellow founders. I have been vibe coding full-time for a little over 4 weeks. Wrote about it here. Please share your tools, or workflow...

The tools are changing and fast. There are people on all sides of the vibe coding spectrum. Some who believe this will be something, pushing this hard, trying new approaches, documenting, sharing them. Others who are trying, getting stuck, learning, trying again. And many others are still staying away. Many software engineers are hesitating to use vibe coding. At this moment, there are many...

Don’t hesitate to restart vibe-coded projects when needed

There is something interesting I tried yesterday. I restarted my software project - I am building a smart web crawler. In software projects, a full restart is not an easy option even when we know we have learned from our current project and the project now has many layers of code that make it hard to sometimes navigate it. The crawler project was not quite so hard but I kept think “the cost to...

Vibe-coding does not mean leaving our brains out of the loop

I have been vibe-coding exclusively for about a month now. I am a senior software engineer and I have always been interested in the "no coding" approach to software development. I want software development to be easier, more accessible to everyone. So I switched to vibe-coding daily and writing less code directly or with AI assistance. When I read about other's experience, I feel there is this...

I started vibe coding a small but ambitious product - a personal web search agent. A crawler/scraper that uses your browser and LLMs to find data for any objective you set. This is not easy but it has been about 10 days and I am amazed at the results. The tool works even though it needs lot of improvement in URL handling, crawler and data gathering logic but this is no easy task even for...

I have recently used Lovable, Repl.it, Bolt, v0, Claude Code, Google Firebase Studio and a couple other vibe coding tools to generate UI. I feel v0 does the job the best but it is very subjective. This was for a travel planner app - so this is more an app and not a landing page. I did not go live with it yet. I created a landing page yesterday to accompany my software which is also entirely...
