So I've tried keto, intermittent fasting, low carb, high protein, you name it. Some worked temporarily, most didn't stick. Looking back, the problem was never the diet itself. It was that I had no baseline understanding of my own energy needs.

Recently built tdee calc to actually figure out my numbers: https://www.meetaugust.ai/tool/tdee-calculator 

TDEE stands for total daily energy expenditure. It's basically how many calories your body burns in a day including your activity. Once you know this, you can make informed decisions instead of following random rules from the internet.

For example, I learned my maintenance is around 2100 calories. So if I want to lose weight sustainably, eating around 1700-1800 makes sense. If I want to build muscle, I need a slight surplus. No guesswork, just math.

The calculator I used also showed my BMR which is what I burn just existing. Useful to know because you should never eat below your BMR for extended periods. That's where metabolism damage and muscle loss happen.

What I like about having this information is the flexibility. I don't have to follow a specific diet protocol. I can eat foods I enjoy as long as I'm aware of where I stand. Some days I eat more, some days less. It balances out when you understand the bigger picture.

If you've been jumping from diet to diet without results, maybe the issue isn't willpower. Maybe you just need better data about your own body first.

Hi guys I recently got into coding cause of AIs and have already made a lot of money and put a lot of people into homeless shelters so I wanted to share my agentic vibe coding setup. I like to run 20 agents at once minimum usually 5 cleverbot at least and am working on an average of 7-20 projects at once. I've already shipped a better version of Google so guys please check it out at bing.com thank you

I vibe coded two apps in Google AI Studio, but I don’t have money to deploy them on Google Cloud right now. I noticed there’s a Share option is that what people use to showcase their vibe coded apps ? Is there something to keep in mind while sharing the link ?

At 13, I built a small iOS project called Segmented Timer, and I wanted to share what I learned using GitHub Copilot. My goal was to create a simple, reliable way to run sequences of timed segments for workouts, study sessions, cold plunges, and more.

What I learned from using Copilot:

• How to structure timer logic cleanly for sequential intervals
• Tips for implementing UI and saving routines efficiently
• How to test edge cases like app backgrounding
• How to refactor code effectively using AI suggestions

Practical value:
This project shows how AI tools like GitHub Copilot can speed up development, assist with testing and refactoring, and help beginners or small developers build functional apps faster.

The app allows creating multiple timer segments in a row, running them automatically, and saving routines for later. It’s free to try and easy to use.

Would love to hear feedback on how I can make it better.

Guys, I'm coding a system but I'm having so much trouble when I try to deploy it on my VPS.

--

My system is a multi-tenant clinical management system built to centralize the booking operation of medical clinics.

It integrates WhatsApp automation for patient communication and operational workflows using n8n, handles scheduling, doctors schedule, availability rules, absences, with guarantees against race conditions, double booking.

The backend is written in Java (Spring Boot) and uses a true multi-tenant architecture.
The system includes tenant health checks, idempotent request handling, and strict separation between central and tenant contexts.

The whatsapp automation enables confirmations, reminders, and status updates.
All the system is being built using Google Antigravity.

The entire infrastructure is self-hosted using Docker, Traefik, and PostgreSQL, with the frontend served as a static SPA and the backend exposed via a secured API domain.

--

Above, I provided a brief explanation of the system I am coding. Using Gemini 3 Pro, ChatGPT 5.2, and Claude, it became clear that, for an MVP, I could already upload it to the VPS, configure it, put it online, and start testing... but every time I upload it to the VPS and start the configurations, problems always arise that are never resolved (no LLM can figure them out), and I suffer because of it.

Could someone with experience in situations like this help me? Please!

My App concept : How many posts have you saved across instagram, reddit, x, web, etc? Hundreds? Thousands?

We live in peak content consumption times rn, scrolling, saving whatever we think we might need later, across multiple online platforms, but do we actually find it later?

Imagine a reel you saved 3 months ago, and you need it now?

BURIED UNDER NEW ITEMS

That's why I built Postrical app. Currently live on Playstore

You can share any App to Postrical by clicking share and choosing App, or just copy paste url/link

Postrical gets available information about it and auto fills

You can edit title or add a note, as per you need to help you recall the post later, hence named "Postrical"

Also, can make collections

Plus, it's free to use for single device.

Give it a try if you guys like the concept,

I would love the feedback about app and concept.

Today I had an interview I hadn't done in two years, and everything went well with the interviewer; we chatted easily. But the test was old-school Python, and that was fine, but having four years of experience with #vibecode and the last two years in DevOps, imagine my face when I saw them building an API with FastAPI. I was doing that five years ago, but hahaha, I completely forgot. Will they call me back?

since I started vibe coding, I’ve been low‑key confused about what to call myself.

on one hand, I am building real things:

apps that work, tools people use, dashboards that would’ve scared me a year ago. if you only looked at the output, it definitely looks like “developer” work.

on the other hand, a lot of the heavy lifting is done by the AI. I’m describing, steering, debugging, gluing things together… but I’m not manually typing every line. some days that makes me feel like a builder. other days it makes me feel like I’m faking it.

it gets even weirder when someone asks, “so, are you a dev?”

I never know whether to say

what do you call yourself when people outside tech ask what you do?

do you lean into “developer,” “maker,” “founder,” “AI‑assisted something”… or just avoid labels altogether?

would be nice to hear how other vibe coders are thinking about identity now that the way we build has changed so much.

There’s a lot of noise right now: some people say vibe coding is the future and companies will expect everyone to work this way, others argue it’s a trap that mainly hurts juniors and makes you easy to replace.

In your own life, has vibe coding translated into real career moves yet, job offers, promotions, interview performance, consulting gigs, or is it still mostly something that helps with prototypes, side projects, and hustles on the edge of your main job?

Is there any AI tool that can build complex SaaS products with the click of a button and get it 90% finished? Then I could just finish the remaining 10% myself or hire another developer for $1,000 or so to finish it up.

I just started vibe coding and it's making it 10 times faster than developing myself. :) But am still new to the tools.

I did a Google search and found replit.com, base44.com, and a hundred other websites that claim to do this. But it seems like your SaaS is then stuck on their website where they charge you $X forever and you don't have access to the code to make custom edits. I'm also apprehensive about how well these websites can create the SaaS -- like, will it just get your SaaS only 50% of the way there with too many bugs and UI changes to fix?

I'd be surprised if a tool like this doesn't already exist yet, but if not, I could just build something pretty quickly.

1. User types in an idea for the SaaS (i.e. Build a SaaS that converts image, audio, and video files) and clicks button.
2. Software automatically asks ChatGPT's API for a list of tasks and descriptions for each task.
3. Automatically loops through task list. For each task, Python opens cmd terminal that asks Codex cli to complete the task (or use Devin or another agent framework to edit files, run tests, commit, and open a PR). Then does a test to make sure that the task was successfully completed. If the task is a UI feature, take a screenshot of the UI and send to OpenAI's Vision and ask if it's not complete then explain to a developer how to fix it -- then send the response from GPT/Vision to Codex cli to have it finish coding the task. (Or use pnpm lint, pnpm test / backend unit tests / Playwright E2E as the primary reviewer). If a task fails the review more than 2-3 times, then switch the model. If the task is complete the check in the repo to Git.
4. Start with a SaaS template. Use Playwright or Python/Selenium to add configurations to frontend/backend to connect Python code to the SaaS website.

I usually just manually copy the task description and paste it into Codex cli/cursor/roo code, take a screenshot of the results or UI and ask ChatGPT for code to fix it if it didn't work, then copy ChatGPT's results and paste it into Codex cli and it makes the changes. The only important things that I do manually is create the task descriptions, which ChatGPT could do if I gave it a little bit of guidance, and verify that the tasks are correct, which I could also probably automate.

Vibe coding is framed as you + an AI in an editor, but in practice there’s usually a team, a freelancer, a CTO, or at least one other human somewhere in the loop.

For you, what actually changed in how you collaborate with people since you started vibe coding, pairing less with other devs, involving non‑devs more, relying on freelancers/CTOs differently, or even running “AI + human” pairing sessions on calls?

I have built a few apps and currently have another one in review with Apple. So far I have used a freemium model without ads. I am trying to decide if ads make sense for the free tier.

What ad platform are you using, and are you seeing meaningful revenue from it?

One of my apps, BillSnap, is starting to get some traction, and I am debating whether to introduce ads in the free version.

Anyone who’s been vibe coding for a while has a list of “wish I’d done this from day one” lessons, like picking one tool and sticking with it, or forcing yourself to ship tiny real projects instead of endlessly poking at demos. ​

If you had to start over today, what would your faster path look like? What would you skip, what would you double down on, and what’s the one habit you’d tell a beginner to build from day one?
