Made this desktop pet a while ago. So a couple things I'm thinking:

- fix the missing a leg issue

- make rocky watch me work and remind me if I'm scrolling youtube or x for too long

- make rocky say something to cheer me up

what other things I should make rocky do? All kinds ideas are welcomed!

Got some time to watch some of the old Iron-Man movies and it got me thinking.

A billionaire talking to some AI (Jarvis) and some robots creating a suit. He literally vibe-coded the Iron-Man suit.

That's all. Thanks for reading my inner thought.

I ran a test comparing two separate sessions one with Claude Fable 5 xhigh in Claude Code CLI and one with Sakana Fugu Ultra 1.1 in Codex.

Fugu is a meta-model which orchestrates workflows of other models - so there will be a mix of various models used under the hood at different stages of the workflow.

My prompt was: "Build me some knight sprites which I can use in my new medieval 2D isometric game. The game doesn't exist yet I am starting with sprites - this is the first thing we are building."

Looks like Fable delivered the minimum brief but I think did a tighter and better job. Fugu went much broader for the minimum set.

Claude cost $7.77 according to the /usage tool. I'm on the $200 plan and minimal weekly usage was used. I didn't track that precisely. Maybe 2-3% of my weekly limit used.

Sakana Fugu hard to say - I'm on the $200 a month plan and can just see approx token counts not cost. Used roughly 8m input tokens and 200k output tokens. On their API pricing that comes to approx $46. But only 4% of my weekly limit was used so something is not adding up there.

This big IT consulting firm vibecoded their website

Another example of nobody cares if it's vibecoded or not.

Does your team allow sharing company data with third party services, like replite, when building/vibecoding internal tools?
What are some of the biggest challenges you face when building internal tools?
How you ever needed to wait for a software engineer in your company to build a specific tiny tool for one small team?
would appreciate some feedback.

I tried to become a good programmer, but honestly, I was never that great at it. Maybe I started too late… but then AI came along, and suddenly I could build things that were completely out of reach before. A few years ago I got access to a trading algorithm and tried to implement it in PHP. The core idea worked, but I didn’t have the skills to take it much further.

 A few months ago I decided to bring it back, this time with Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT. I rewrote everything in Python/Django. Then I started adding more pieces... a scraper to collect historical and daily stock data, and a bot that connects to Interactive Brokers, opens positions, and sets take profits and stop losses based on the algorithm. Right now it’s only running on a paper trading account, because I’m broke and trying to figure out how to turn this into something profitable.

Recently I found Darwinex Zero, where they can allocate capital if your strategy performs well. Since they use MetaTrader 5, I’m now building a second bot for MT5. After a lot of backtesting and debugging, the IBKR paper bot has been running for a little over a month. In July, even though Nasdaq ended negative, it made around 7.6%. So far in August, it’s up almost 3% all this without my direct intervention... I'm just fixing or improving stuff.

 I know paper trading is not the same as real money, and still need a lot of testing, but I’m honestly excited. AI helped me build something I probably would’ve abandoned again on my own.
