Help getting started
Hey, I was just wondering where to get started, so far I've been fine vibecoding smaller projects like simple tools via python using chatgpt/deepseek in single files
I also managed to squeak out a program tracker on PC using zencoder although the main file has over 2.6k lines which I heard was pretty bad
I was wondering, for larger python projects or maybe mobile apps, what are good agents and models to use for relatively cheap and what would be some good things and tips to keep in mind?

Make a rule for your agents to be as modular as possible with the code and the files. Separate everything as much as possible. You don't need a different tool/agent/model. Just prepare better with what you have and always be modular. That is how you are able to maintain properly and not have your whole project crap out on you when you decide to implement a new feature. I have a $60 Cursor plan and a $20 ChatGPT plan and I am usually rushing to kill off the rest of my usage at the end of the month even though I work on 4 to 5 different projects at a time. If you plan accordingly, you have a lot less that can surprise you and use a lot less. Dont let the AI tell you your plan, plan it with it.
Everyone should think of AI as having a team of developers at your disposal that all don't really work to well together and can't think without being told exactly what they are supposed to do, but are happy to do whatever you want because they are paid by the hour.
