For years my Mac moved all my windows onto one monitor every time it woke up, unlocked or went back on the dock. I finally sat down with an AI to build a small menu bar fix for myself, and had something working in under 24 hours.
What surprised me was where the time went. The code came fast. Understanding what macOS actually does took the rest.
Sleep is a disconnect. Most external monitors drop their link when the Mac sleeps, so macOS moves their windows to a screen that's still there and never moves them back.
Identical monitors can look like the same monitor. Many report the same serial number, so "which screen was this window on?" is not a trivial question.
Saving on a timer is a trap. The obvious approach is to snapshot window positions every few seconds. But if a snapshot runs right after a wake, you save the mess macOS just made instead of your real layout.
None of that is in the code an AI gives you on the first try. You only learn it by living with the problem.
What platform quirk ate most of your time on something you vibecoded?

I noticed that our category pages were invisible on search engines hurting our search visibility. That changed when I audited our product catalog and uncovered hundreds of manufacturer provided product descriptions. Of writing generic paragraphs I created a bulleted list for each item that shows exact use cases, physical dimensions and material specifications. After updating the product descriptions traffic to those specific pages grew by forty five percent over just six weeks. Search engines reward detailed product descriptions that help buyers make a buying decision. Replace copy pasted manufacturer text with specifications and clear answers to common buyer questions. How do you handle content creation, for large e commerce catalogs?

Five years of bookmarking design inspiration. Thousands of links categorized into neat folders. Then a deadline hit, I panicked, and I opened Pinterest like everyone else instead of my curated vault. The bookmarking had become a hobby disguised as productivity. I started deleting 50 bookmarks for every 1 I saved, and my actual output tripled.

The tool wasn't bad. I was consuming inspiration instead of building from it.

For those who hoard inspiration links, was it the platform's fault or the lack of curation? And what style or technique have you saved dozens of times without ever actually trying it out?
