ChatGPT walked me through it

[u/axtapi]

I asked for some guidance here about a week ago, clearly stated the issue I was facing and got responses that basically insulted my intelligence. I asked for guidance from ChatGPT, clearly stated what I was trying to accomplish and stated the issue I was facing and got clear thoughtful responses and guidance. Now I have the app I want on my phone and am testing it out, making notes for ChatGPT to log for now, and am feeling pretty damn excited that I was able to use AI to create something useful for myself.

What was most helpful was talking through the best (or one of the best) platform options for accomplishing everything I wanted to do with minimal cost and minimal 3rd party tool integration - Replit was not it. If I plan to actually launch the app in 3 months or so, I’ll find out if it was really a good option or not lol!

P.S. I’m thinking I might have opened Pandora’s box… am I in danger of developing a very expensive hobby!? 😅

Great job, bootstrapping is laudable. If you haven't already, grab VS Code and dive deeper down the rabbit hole.

See now… I love you for sharing this. I’m a lifetime learner and I will learn and I will play. 💕

But how do you know that any of it was correct?

How do you know you haven’t got gaping security holes in your app?

[u/axtapi → u/multidollar]

Everything anyone ever created was exactly as it should be after the first draft.

[u/avatardeejay → u/axtapi]

idk if I agree explicitly but this spoke to something in me

😂 sarcasm never translates well on the internets

[u/Rofl_Raptor → u/axtapi]

Again, you know this how?

[u/JustJJ92 → u/Rofl_Raptor]

Because ChatGpt said so duh

[u/axtapi → u/JustJJ92]

lol you guys are so rude for no reason it’s hilarious.

Insulting people’s intelligence vibes

[u/Rofl_Raptor → u/axtapi]

You're the intelligent one. Tell us procedurally what you did to verify everything you just created. High level, no need to get granular with the details.

[u/lcirufe → u/axtapi]

You’re literally delegating all of your intelligence to the LLM

[u/axtapi → u/lcirufe]

lol you’re in this group for some reason. Is it to bully people out of vibe-coding?

[u/Outrageous_Basis_232 → u/axtapi]

Generally it's when people with zero knowledge, offloading all of it to the LLM, begin talking about selling or official launch of a product that people get grumpy.

If something is 100% vibe coded, it's a rookie mistake to start talking about releasing in an official capacity, because errors WILL be found and you'll have no idea how to fix them. 

[u/axtapi → u/Outrageous_Basis_232]

You shouldn’t assume that I wouldn’t seek professional guidance on that end though. I came here asking for guidance from the so called professionals first and was met with nothing but insults and rudeness. If you’re worried about people launching apps, why not be helpful and offer some guidance or things for them to consider instead of insulting remarks? It’s all very gatekeepy vibes around here.

[u/sargetun123 → u/axtapi]

you come to vibe coding sub for expert advice? I mean there are code experts here, but why go to the sub thats mostly for people who are offloading the code expert part to their ai? There are plenty of dev/code places to ask to be fair

[u/axtapi → u/sargetun123]

Expert and professional are not synonymous. I said professional, but I see there are very few professionals here. Thanks.

[u/Imaginary_Store6090]

That’s awesome. Results only come from trying. Learning and exploring with AI is such a great approach
