- sarcastic comments bout AI

- simple productive setup

- vibe stories

What to expect

- AI generated code is a sin made against gods will

- amount of over-hype is killing me

- the ship has sailed, every CEO and investor EXPECTS AI, so we have to find a ways to survive

- to be fair, AI in the last year started to be actually useful. It was a good choice to ignore it for some time

Whats my opinion?

Tooling fatigue

Facts

- every month/week there's NEW SHINY TOOL

- there's probably IDE you already like

...so use OpenCode

1. install it

2. log into API you have access to (copilot supported!)

3. don't overthink it - all you need to know is already on the screen

CEBULA TIP:
COPILOT FOR OPEN SOURCE IS FREE

AND ITS GOOD

THERES CODEX AND OTHERS AVAILABLE

- single, most important step is using PLAN MODE

- iterate over it, make AI prepare questions and recommendations

- save it to file as reference for later

- click go and watch clanker go brrr

How to use it

Tip: there's little cool tool called Git, use it to make checkpoints

PS: AI can write commit msg too

- Next.js developer MCP

    - can connect to headless Chrome, SO YOU DON'T COPY PASTE ERRORS

    - can click on stuff!!

- Next.js docs for agent

    - npx @next/codemod@canary agents-md

    - feels like it makes a difference

Tools that made impact

- never used xcode

- some exp with micro controllers, but not a fan of using c

- knew I won't have too much time for this project

Vibe Case:

Look ma, I'm a iOS/embedded dev now!

Takeouts:

- during planning you can ask for manageable checkpoints

- one day microcontroller, another ios app, another connection between those two

- opencode is great, cli based agents dont fight with the IDE

- you can create something outside of your expertise. Just try it

- STOREFRONT REWRITE!!1!

- thought bout trying bun+htmx stack for a looong time

- wanted to see how much of a additional context I had to provide

Vibe Case:
datastar-front

Takeouts:

- having schema is great

- necessity of codegen for vibe coding was challenged

- AI handles webdev outside react world too!

- feedback loop between dev server and agent is a king

- how far can I go with vibes?

Vibe Case:

reconsole

Takeouts:

- v0 is exceptional for designing dashboards

    - hot take: we could drop macaw-ui 

- don't try to one shot projects like that

    - start with most exciting thing

    - mock APIs, but plan for it beforehand

- check if dependencies provide their own MCPs 

- did I mention that schema is a king?
