Do any of the more experienced coders ever feel like closing the loop in vibecoding is a bit too much control to let go off? I'm not sure if I can categorize myself as an experienced coder. I'm been mainly self-taught and been doing it for almost a decade now, so I have strong opinions about what I consider best practices. (I actually love refactoring, because it feels like order is once again restored in the codebase).

However, with AI becoming so good at so many parts of the product development, I'm starting to feel like a project manager, or god forbid, scrum master... On the one hand, it's nice that I get to spend most of my time thinking about the problems themselves rather than the implementation of the solution. But on the other hand, I think my coding style is a bit like trying to find a way out of a dark room by running into the wall repeatedly as opposed to planning a way out. And I kind of missing running into the wall to be honest. Now, I'm enviously looking at AI hitting the wall.

Are you in favour of banning social media for users under 16?

Recently, there has been a surge of laws and restrictions targeting social media platforms for young users.

I ve spent years as a Senior Full Stack Developer building complex systems for others, but I ve finally decided to focus on my own "Indie" journey. I m currently working on Mind Draft, a mobile app to help people capture and validate ideas, alongside a few other projects like Ishbikni and TextToPrompt.

I m a big fan of "Vibe Coding" using tools like Cursor and Claude to move faster, and when I'm not at the keyboard, I'm usually perfecting my Shakshouka recipe.

I have a product scheduled to launch soon and I'm honestly a bit nervous! I d love to connect with other developers and makers here. What s the one thing you wish you knew before your first "big" launch?
