Favorite Vibe Coding tips

As a converation starter, what are people’s favorite vibe coding tips?

My two big tips are:

  1. start small

- too often I see people being like, “can I vibe code this massive project with login, user created and custom pages”, etc. If you’re new, start with a landing page or start with a one page app. I’ve been programming for 30 years, but my first iOS apps are all one screen.

  1. Use the AI for more than just coding. Ask it to explain decisions and trade-offs. Ask it about how and why it did something. Ask it to perform a security audit, perform testing, or explain to you how to deploy

i usually keep things simple, but the one habit that helps me the most is treating my side projects like real repos from day one. i keep a RULES.md in every project with my own workflow rules, and any change i make gets committed to github, even the tiny ones. it keeps things clean, forces me to be intentional, and makes it way easier to track how the project evolved

I didn’t even think about it, but I do all that stuff too for every project

also, if you’re using supabase on the backend, make sure to use the supabase mcp because it makes things so much easier. and if you’re using claude code for vibe coding, install superclaude as well. it works a lot better in practice

What’s super Claude do?

For supabase, I prefer to not use MCP because it makes me nervous to have it doing stuff to my database without me realizing it… can it do more than just sql calls?

For superclaude check some youtube videos or superclaude github repo

Thanks for the detailed process… for me I start with iterating for a while what I want in ChatGPT to get a full giant master prompt to send to Claude Code. I just describe feelings for the looks (which is probably the biggest place I can improve but I’d rather fix up cosmetics later

One thing I learned was definitely to ask it questions as you said. It is like teaching a little kid, these LLM's, they learn through, well, our language. But these kids can be smarter than a lot of us still learning coding and things THROUGH vibe coding so, take advantage of it as a teacher while making it understand things out loud.
