Hey, I was wondering how many of you are coding from the phone - it's easier to do it with AI coding agents now, so I'm wondering how often developers are doing it.
Personally, I do some coding tasks daily from my phone and I'm curious how others are doing it?
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 and in particular what is not working for you. What is frustrating you in building software with vibe coding?
I've been building my app for 8 months now, and i ended up having 5 repositories
nextjs app
databases
customer facing API
node-sdk that wraps the api
react-sdk, for both reusing shared component and customer facing components
So i thought, it's gonna be great if i create a mono repo with submodules. But it was terrible. I realized that turborepo does not like external packages, and as i tried to reuse my own customer facing libs, the DX became terrible. It was very time consuming to ship a feature. Even when i wanted to use Codex or Cursor 3, it was not able to show git diff properly, also i was not able to use Cursor's cloud agents properly to ship complex features.
Every time I vibe code there is always this huge lift that I constantly have to go through. Authentication, billing, password resets, emails, signup, waitlist, landing page and when it s all said done and the app is ready then comes the marketing, the blogging, the social media automation, the product hunt launch etc etc etc . So much repetitive crap that I have to do just to get a simple app up and running. How do you guys handle all this?
Since I am a coder and a hammer sees everything as a nail, I decided to create all this code as a template so I can jump into building an app right away. There is actually a lot more than what I mentioned above e.g customer support, chat, roadmap for building in public, email flows and more coming.
We've been getting the same request over and over from our users: "My AI gives great answers, but it can't actually do anything."
It got us thinking most AI integrations today are still essentially fancy search boxes. The AI talks, the human acts. But the real unlock is when the AI can close the loop itself query the database, send the email, update the record without a human in the middle.
The hard part isn't the action itself. It's the non-determinism. How do you build a system where the AI decides when to act, which action to take, and what parameters to pass based purely on context without it going off the rails?
Recently stumbled across this Cursor pro-tip from Ian Nuttall on X: "1. ask it to recommend a folder structure
2. ask it to actually create the folder/files based on that this makes it 10x easier for me to get started and Cursor is more accurate using codebase cos it knows where to update files."
That got me thinking, what other pro tips are people using to generate better code, ship faster, organise your space better, etc. Drop em below:
