I recently switched main agents from Claude Code to Codex, and wow, the code quality feels way higher. But I'm noticing that Codex doesn't explain its decisions or reasoning as clearly as other models. Is it just me, or does Codex skip the 'why' behind the code more often?
Are there tricks to codex out more reasoning? Curious if anyone else has noticed this or found a good workaround.
I've been coding for a while and noticed a pattern in start up and side project threads... Vibe coding can build MVPs quickly, but when something breaks, you get completely stuck. This means a lot of people get technical founders or software engineers to help them out. Not enough people talk about the other solution, which is non-technical founders learning the technical stuff along the way.
Vibe Coach turns copying code from a vibe coding crutch into a learning superpower. A chrome extension that quizzes you before copying AI-generated code, then encourages writing it yourself. Every copy becomes a learning win, building coding confidence.
I'm spending $200/month on Claude Code. Normal, or am I nuts? How much are you really spending? What tool is worth every penny, and what's way overrated?
Poll: How much are you spending per month on vibe coding tools? Options: $0 $50, $51 $100, $101 $200, $201+
Got frustrated with travel chatbots that forget everything, so I taught myself backend development and built myself.Spent weeks on Replit getting the conversation memory to work (most bots have goldfish memory).
Now I have this travel AI that actually remembers your preferences and budget throughout planning.
I have zero clue how to sell anything. Posted it and... crickets
Anyone else get massive imposter syndrome on their first launch? Like "who am I to sell code when I edit videos for a living?
Google Play launch! Stop waking up tired with Ebbra: Sleep Tracker. Set your sleep duration (i.e. 8 hrs), Ebbra starts counting when you actually fall asleep. Pauses when you wake up, resumes when you're back asleep. Sleep tracking that adapts to real life.
As Makers, we're constantly juggling product builds, user feedback, marketing, and bug fixes. Time seems to vanish in an instant. Over the past year, I ve found that sometimes it's not a grand strategy or overhaul that makes the difference, but rather one game-changing tool that quietly handles the busywork.
For me, a standout has been Fathom, an AI-powered tool that transcribes meetings and automatically delivers highlight summaries. No more scrambling for bullets during calls, no more post-call backlog. It s saved me hours each week. In fact, users combining tools like Fathom, ChatGPT, Asana, and Zapier have reported reclaiming 20+ hours per week by streamlining writing, research, and task automation.
After 7 years of systems work within aerospace and renewable energy industries, I've seen first hand how slow big industry can move. So I started tinkering with code in my evenings and weekends to solve my own annoying problems. Turns out, building software uses a lot of the same skills as solving engineering problems, but you can actually see your solutions come to life without waiting 3-5 years for approval!
Fairly simple goal, skip the corporate ladder and build a sustainable company of one. I want to create products that help people while living within my means and occasionally seeing sunlight (Not easy in the UK).
I ve just launched something I built to solve a real pain I faced (opensecatlas.com) . It s a curated directory of free/open-source tools that I wish existed when I needed it. I used vibe coding to build and refine it quickly, and I m proud of what came out.
But here s the problem: I don t have a big following. No established X/Twitter, no strong LinkedIn presence, no personal brand. I see other makers and influencers launch something and immediately get thousands of visitors. For me, even though the product is real and solves a problem, it feels invisible.
