I ve noticed that my workflow has changed completely over the last year. I rarely start a new project with a blank file anymore. Instead, I pick a template, reuse snippets, or let an AI helper suggest the structure and then I just vibe my way through the build.
It s faster, but sometimes I miss the old blank screen energy, when every line felt handcrafted.
But the real costs often hide in the background- compute burn, idle tokens, redundant calls, or that temporary caching fix that quietly eats your budget.
I keep seeing advice like use this model for the easy stuff and that one for complex problems. But it makes me wonder what really counts as a complex problem for an LLM?
For us, complex usually means lots of steps, deep reasoning, or tricky knowledge. But for AI, the definition might be different. Some things that feel easy for us can be surprisingly hard for models, while things that seem tough for us (like scanning huge datasets quickly) might be trivial for them.
The other day on LinkedIn, I came across a competitor in my space. The founder proudly wrote in their bio: "Built the tool from idea to launch in just 2 weeks."
Hello everyone, I am dabbling in "Vibe Coding" and wanted to know if anyone has any advice or best practices? I have used Cursor for a while, but have just started to use Claude Code to take a more hands-off approach. I am liking it so far for getting the general layout and functionality, and then I go in to clean up and finish the work. I have also used some MCPs, but I am looking for more! All advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I m a PM, and I ve been prototyping more and more in Lovable/V0 lately it s quickly becoming my default sketchpad for product ideas. One challenge I keep running into when sharing with stakeholders: how to present different variations of the same prototype. It feels like today s vibecoding tools don t yet have the equivalent of feature flags, a simple way to toggle between ideas within one prototype. I m curious how others approach this. Do you fork? Keep multiple versions and restore as needed? Or is there another workflow I should try?
