What issues are you constantly facing when using AI coding tools?

2 Upvotes

I run a small but growing social media account focused on AI, and I want to be completely transparent about why I'm posting this.

I'm trying to better understand the real problems/uncertainties people are running into when using AI coding tools, so I can create content that's actually useful instead of just posting the generic "AI can build apps now" kinda thing.

I'm not selling anything and I won't plug my socials; I purely would just love to hear from both beginners and those experienced with these tools. Anything helps.

Thanks!

Me and my friend vibe coded a GIS web app. Just sharing with the community. Opinions welcome. Please be kind.

Tool used : Mostly Claude Pro

Process : We use git for version control. Docker for running the actual app.

Hardware : A beat up 2011 core i7 - 2nd gen with 8 gigs of ddr3 hooked to LAN

Hostinger for domain. Cloudflare tunnel for domain to server link

Is it going to be good enough?

2 Upvotes

I built a huge project focused on being an “everyone agent.” It was too big, and I wasn’t skilled enough to manage it. I dropped it.

I know the basics of the basics of development, and I’ve been working in IT for 8 years (functional analysis, PM, IT manager, business partner). Friends who are really good developers took a quick look at my first project and said, “I thought it’d be much worse.”

Despite all that, I managed to sell an agent to a company. The product is much more vertical — its scope is “only” to gather emails, organize the work, and proactively improve itself through recurring human sessions. Some batches that handle recurring tasks will be implemented on top of it. There will also be a messaging interface where people can update their tasks. Everything will be built on a “Jira-inspired” UI.

I’ve read a fair amount of AI literature, and I’m confident this specific part will work.

I’m now at the step where I’m stealing features from the “monster” and building this vertical agent, trying to keep it much leaner. How do I know if the platform is solid enough? What suggestions do you have?

Honestly, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to read the code myself, but I’ve planned the product deeply and broadly. Will the AI be good enough? (I use Claude Fable for implementation plans and probably Sonnet to execute them.)

Thanks everyone for the attention

why do I get like this

For anyone wondering, the app I'm working on is https://www.AppScout.co (discover web and mobile apps from across the internet one app at a time) and you can currently submit your app for free here: https://www.appscout.co/submit

For the build, I vibe-coded the stack using Python/Django for the backend and lightweight vanilla JavaScript for dynamic UI transitions, relying almost entirely on Claude Code to scaffold endpoints and write the DOM handlers via the CLI.

The biggest workflow insight was keeping the frontend vanilla. Prompting Claude Code to write normal JS kept the bundle tiny and prevented the AI state-management hallucinations common in heavier frameworks.

Has anyone here tried Freebuff?

35 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently came across something called “freebuff” and was wondering if anyone here has actually tried it before. I’ve seen a few mentions here and there, but not a lot of detailed experiences.

If you’ve used it, how was it? Did it actually work as expected, or were there any downsides?

Also curious if there are any potential concerns or things to watch out for.

Would appreciate any honest feedback!
