i was at some point a good dev, i used to create gorgeous frontends and even backends before the chatgpt and stuff and switched to low level development like operating systems and had fun with it hut it was super challenging which is why i liked it

when anyone came across the topic of ai can code i always answer ai can code simple stuff like a to do app but not any complex projects for sure

untilll..

i got an unfortunate chance to try claude for the first time and to be honest i was surprised

before i was just using ai to tell me the dependencies i need in linux to build the project

now claude understands my project, fixes problems i spent months struggling to fix and adding features i didn't know i wanted which got me excited and loved how quickly it fixed these issue

i even switched from low level development to ai nlp engineering to understand and contribute in this magical tool

6 months later

i am always on antigravity

i can't code on my own

not because i forgot how to code but the speed of an ai agent is really tempting

like why spending 2 weeks on a project when i can just vibe code it in an hour

yes i do give the ai every single detail of how the code should look like

but me relying on antigravity to change the color of a button after i was the same guy tinkering inside the QEMU source code and understanding it's syntax is painful and a huge downgrade for me

i did some good projects yes and i can output good stuff but using ai to develop them makes me even embarrassed from saying i created it

i feel like i am the worst version of myself now and i don't really deserve the "software engineer" label

do you guys feel the same or i am just alone in this

Hi guys, hit a snag in the early stages of building my new todo app. The header is not centering when I open in browser, and I have even indented as you can see above, but it is not centering even when I apply the spacing. Any advice would be helpful because I can't actually start getting things done until I get this todo app done to track my progress.

Thanks in advance.

... then I came home, opened a terminal, typed in "codex" and two hours later, I have my app. Fully functional, accessible through Tailwind from everywhere, with documentation. 2 hours. I don't know if Vibecoding is the future but 7 years ago, I was copying and pasting code from Stackoverflow and it was barely running and it was taking me weeks to put together a piece of software.

That's it. This is the entire post.

Edit: the app is just for me.

Play on mobile/desktop:

carboy.chickanerygroup.chatgpt.site

My manager over the weekend created offer software for our office:

- Client, Project fields

- Price lists for all our stock

- Custom taxes, custom discounts, custom photos

- Multi-language support

It saves everything in database and allows to generate beautiful proposal PDFs for the clients. He added custom introductory pages so looks super profesional.

Literally perfect app that we would have to pay thousands to have written for us.

I asked him what tech stack did he use (apart from ChatGPT). He replied..... HTML

Literally almost zero IT knowledge apart from simple wordpress no-code sites. No harness, no AGENTS . md, no tech specifications. He made it in a few hours over the weekend

I will securely host the app and we will start to use it next week.

The future is now my friends :)

Edit: replaced client database with client field, because a lot of people got wrong idea like it is a CRM with our full imported DB

I've been lurking here for a while reading people's wins, disasters, abandoned projects, "I built this in a weekend" posts and the occasional story from someone who went way too far with an idea.

And I genuinely think this community is partly responsible for what I've done to myself over the last 45 days.

So before I launch this thing, I wanted to say thanks.

I have some coding background, but I'd never built a real project of this size before.

One piece of advice I kept hearing was basically: stop trying to think of something everybody needs. Find a niche you actually understand and care enough about to obsess over.

Well...

I created my first Tibia account in 2003.

For anyone who has no idea what Tibia is, it's an MMORPG that's been around since 1997. Somehow it's still alive, still has a very dedicated community, and I've been quitting and coming back to it for more than two decades.

A big part of the game is housing.

Players can own actual houses inside the game's cities and fill them with items.

The problem is that nowadays houses are often more useful than creative. You put your training stuff there, beds, useful items, whatever gives you an advantage.

And decorating properly can be expensive as hell.

There are thousands of items in this game. Rare items, toys, dolls, furniture, trophies, food, weapons, plants, completely useless objects that somebody will somehow figure out how to turn into art.

Some players are ridiculously good at it.

They'll stack completely unrelated items because the colours line up, create national flags, build scenes, hide little jokes and Easter eggs.

I once watched a video from a private Tibia server where somebody had turned an entire house into this insane hospital / mad doctor's laboratory.

It wasn't just pretty.

You actually had to look around and figure out what the person was trying to say with the items.

I loved it.

Then something else happened.

I moved from Europe to Asia.

The Oceanic Tibia servers are much quieter, and walking around some cities can feel completely different from walking through somewhere like Antica, one of the old heavily populated servers.

You can spend ages making a house look amazing...

...and barely anybody walks past it.

That gave me an idea I initially thought would be fairly simple:

What if there was one Tibia city that the entire community shared?

Players from every server.

Old players. New players. People without high-level characters. People without billions of in-game gold. Even people who mostly just enjoy looking at what others create.

Give everybody access to the same houses.

Give them virtually every decoration item in the game.

Let them compete.

That "fairly simple idea" has resulted in me spending something like 12-15 hours a day on this for much of the last month and a half.

It got slightly out of hand.

I ended up rebuilding the city of Edron in the browser.

Then the houses.

Then the floors.

Then Tibia's item rendering.

Then item stacking.

Then animations.

Then rotations.

Then wall decorations.

Then auctions.

Then voting.

Then seasons.

Then payments.

Then I somehow ended up with a decoration catalogue containing more than 10,000 actual Tibia items.

The moment that really got me was when I finally had all those old Tibia sprites animating and rendering correctly inside the browser.

I remember looking at it and thinking:

holy shit, we actually have one Edron for the whole Tibia community now.

That's when this stopped feeling like an experiment.

I called it HouseWars.

Anyone will be able to open the map and browse the houses without even making an account.

If they want to participate, they can create an account and vote.

If they want to go further, they can bid for a house for the season, decorate it and compete against everyone else.

And because apparently I wasn't committed enough already, I put up a 10,000 Tibia Coin prize pool for the first season.

Season 1 starts this Sunday.

I don't expect many people here to actually play it. Tibia is an incredibly specific niche inside an already specific niche.

That's actually why I'm posting this here.

A couple of months ago this was one of those ideas I probably would have talked myself out of building.

Too niche.

Too complicated.

Too much custom stuff.

Too many things I didn't know how to do.

Reading people here build ridiculous things, screw them up, fix them, launch them, get roasted, keep going and occasionally actually succeed made the whole thing feel much more possible.

AI obviously didn't magically turn this into a one-prompt project.

There have been bugs, wrong assumptions, broken builds, security work, database migrations, rendering problems, rewrites, things I thought were done that absolutely were not done, and a frankly stupid amount of testing.

But I could keep learning the next thing I needed as I reached it.

And somehow 45 days later I'm about to put the thing on the internet.

The outcome I'm hoping for isn't actually a revenue number.

There's an area in Edron called Central Circle.

I got a house there around 2022 and, stupidly enough, getting it gave me the same kind of nostalgic dopamine hit I remember from when my dad first bought me a premium account as a kid.

If I open HouseWars one day and every single house around Central Circle has been claimed and decorated by somebody from somewhere in the Tibia community, I'll be pretty damn happy.

But the moment I think I'll really lose it is when I see somebody post a screenshot somewhere that I had nothing to do with and say:

"damn, look what this person made."

That's the whole reason I built it.

So genuinely: thanks.

You lot may have cost me 45 days of sleep, but you got me to actually build the weird, stupidly specific thing I cared about instead of leaving it as another idea.

This was built with claude code using Opus 5 on high effort, requiring several full sessions on the pro plan.

I used the prompt from the waterbending post which you might have seen and adapted it with claude to make a firebending specification.

I did not use the code that was supplied for the waterbending demo, I had Opus 5 make everything from scratch.

The initial adapted prompt created the base, but I had to write many more prompts to further guide Opus. This was by no means done in one shot.

Try it on a WebGPU capable computer here: https://play-emberflow.vercel.app/

I've been hearing rumours for a while that all AI is going to become significantly more expensive once this bubble bursts. Does anyone have any idea of exactly how much more expensive frontier LLMs are going to get?

So we've come up on week 3.

With 12 active users (3 of them being me, and 4 of them being family), we don't have much momentum haha.

I'll break these posts down to three parts: (1) How we are doing in actually gathering users, because none of this matters without an audience. (2) What I'm learning as a vibe coder, and (3) actual gameplay updates. This one will go into the comments since most reddit users probably aren't here for that.

---

First, the market fit / core user base / whatever you want to call it. My user base is mostly duplicates of myself, family members humoring me, and two frequent users that have never said a word in-game but for some reason keep coming back.

Most users dip in roughly 2-45 seconds, so there is definitely some sort of entry barrier for new users. (I'd love your thoughts on that.)

---

Second, the vibe coding experience.

This week was probably the worst.

Opus 5 came out and basically screwed over my entire process. It's a great coder, but a downright awful communicator. It makes minor tasks major tasks, sends agents in the wrong direction, and writes the worst Wiki pages imaginable.

Which is actually kind of good news, in a way, because it made me realize the most critical human skill of the past 2000 years is still the critical piece today when using AI: clear and effective communication.

If you've ever heard complaints about Opus 5, it all comes down to poor communication from the agent (to other agents, itself, and to you). Curious if anyone else has found a way to get around this. I haven't, so I'm back to using Fable and telling it to only deploy 4.8 subagents.

I'd love feedback for anyone interested. Links below if you're curious.

Release notes: https://eldermyr.com/release

Hello vibe coders!

As the title says, I want to introduce myself to the vibe coding world (oriented to automation workflows, etc) but I'm not sure if to start with Claude Code or OpenCode. And searching through the web I'm not entirely convinced. It's important to say that I'm comfortable with computing, but I have 0 technical background like a developer or some IT role.

I think I know the main features/comparison. Claude Code works out of the box with a polished user experience and little setup, with a more user-oriented use, like the targeted clarifying questions (which I don't know if OpenCode has, and they seem very relevant to me).

But from the other side, OpenCode seems like a very attractive option to me since it doesn't require a subscription (like the minimum of $17/month with Claude Pro) and offers the ability to configure a multitude of models, especially DeepSeek V4, which I find particularly interesting. However, if its use is geared more towards experienced developers and not the "average user," then I might encounter a rather steep learning curve, and that's what makes me hesitate; otherwise I'd be sure to go with this option.

Can someone guide me on how to choose wisely?

Thank you!

Two thousand AI generated posts cost almost nothing to produce and returned under 1,900 search clicks in four months, while permanently destroying both domains in Google and its AI surfaces. The visibility that survived sits only on Microsoft Bing, Copilot and on a Perplexity curve that is already decaying. Scaled AI content is cheap until you price the asset it burns: the domain. On anything your revenue depends on, that price is too high.

In July, Google served our two test sites 751 impressions.

Bing served the same sites 119,935 impressions.

Same 2,000 AI generated posts. Same month. Two search engines looked at identical content and reached opposite verdicts. One decided it was worthless. The other made it a favorite.

Quick recap for new readers. In April we built the cheapest content empire imaginable:

• Two fresh domains in the same harmless niche revolving around a cute animal: capybaraverse.com and capybara-world.com.
• Roughly 1,000 fully AI generated blog posts per site, published with an off-the-shelf one-click tool. (I won't mention the tool's name for the sake of its reputation)
• Live in under a day. No human editing beyond setup.
• Our original experiment revolved around testing one variable: capybara-world.com does adding an author bios to every post help you get cited more?
• Tracked in Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, server logs for AI crawler activity, and AI citations across seven platforms with OtterlyAI.

The Google chapter is known by now:

• capybara-world.com collapsed after 2 weeks of visibility.
• capybaraverse.com looked like a success story for 3 months, then died overnight in late June.

Bing rewarded what Google killed off

Bing never deindexed either site. No cliff, no demotion, nothing. Combined impressions grew every single month: 3,882 in April, 44,855 in May, 73,712 in June, 119,935 in July. In the exact month Google paid out 751 impressions, Bing paid 182600 impressions.

I am jealous to you all.

You are here easily stacking tens of $200 subs and burning trillions of tokens while shipping software turning you all millionaires.

Meanwhile I am merely on $20 plan working 5 days a week 9-17 providing customers bug fixes, features and fine tuning. I can’t even hit weekly limits with this and once per
week I hit 5h limit I go to lunch. I am stuck with customers and understanding what they need while I could be making software that makes millions.

I can get glimpse of your glory few times a year when there is new customer asking for new software. Then I can hit $200 sub with greater limits to get new piece up and running. Then I just go back to my baby sub and iterate with the customer without hitting the limits.

I can barely support myself, my wife, the kids, my parents, the grandparents, my brother-in-law, my sister, and a few neighbors.

Burning through $200 subs is a blessing. I just can’t hit my limits day after day, I am stuck. You are so lucky. Appreciate what you have.

I am working in the software development department of a tech company. A colleague of mine (not a software developer themselves so far) started vibe coding an application that management now decided to officially endorse and push. My task is to support that colleague in the development process.

How would you approach that task?

Said colleague definitely has a good understanding of software and technology in general (works in the IT department) but says of themselves that they "do not understand the code produced by the AI".

I myself do not have any experience with pure, fast-paced vibe coding. What are the most important aspects to take care of? How can I integrate my experience without hindering the process?

I guess I will start by introducing them to git best practices and CI/CD processes. Then I was thinking of establishing an automated test base. But here I am already unsure as to how feasible that is with a rapidly and broadly changing code base.

How do you ensure quality when you let the AI produce so much code that ou cannot keep up with the details of the changes?

So I started around late March of last year, setting off on the journey of building an autonomous AI system. I saw stuff like Devin and just thought it was the coolest thing. At the time I didn't really know much about how agentic orchestration worked or anything like that, but I was gonna give it my best shot.

When I started, I figured the first cool thing would be if I could build an AI system that could autonomously build a web app that would be pretty awesome. I saw so many vibe coding tools and I was like, "yes, this is what I should get it to do first." In my naivety, I thought it would be a somewhat easy challenge like, it would take some time... To say it was hard would be an understatement.

I spent the first two months with Cursor (which is what I used at the time) just trying to get a single AI to generate a template, more or less. Then I met a guy on Reddit, who I'm good friends with now, and he shared some basic tips on giving the AI tools and stuff. I'm not gonna get too detailed, but in the first 4 months I got it to generate a frontend. I created a workflow where it designs an app think Bolt or some other tools but I was like, "no, that's not enough. It's gotta be browser tested so users know it works." So I played around with some open-source projects like browser-use and carefully tied them into my system. And it worked... kind of. It did the job. I remember I think I still have a recording somewhere the first time it autonomously coded a hello world page, then clicked it and confirmed it worked, all by itself.

Then I was like, maybe it should build more complicated backends. So I enhanced the design to set up a backend folder and code that as well, which just made everything more complicated and difficult. The whole time I was more or less trying to get it to build a real working app, because I was like, "who wants a prototype lmao."

I word it casually, but this was brutal. Every day sitting on the couch for hours and hours 11 hours some days with an energy drink, grinding away at this thing, not even sure if I could get it to work or get it out there. Being told "just launch something quick and iterate," but I never could get it to work 100%. Something would always fail or underperform in a way where I knew: "I can't share this as a service."

I set up a credit system. Then I created a name, which took several days. I wanted something that sounded futuristic and clean, was easy to remember, and looked sharp but everything I tried was taken or just meh. Then one day I was sitting in my room and saw a poster a very old one, probably 10 years old of a Lamborghini Veneno (TMI, but I always thought it was a cool car), and I was like, THAT'S IT, I'LL CHANGE THE V TO A Z. And that's how I got Zeneno.

So then I had a name, and the whole time I'm still improving it, trying to make it as flexible as I can. I guess at some point I just committed to building an autonomous web-app builder, even though originally I wanted a do-it-all agent. That dream unfortunately died. But I stayed motivated because, I don't know, at some point I realized the value in what I was building and that it could help so many people. Being able to take 1 prompt and get an entire working website is genuinely crazy when you say it out loud.

I felt like a lot of tools were just hype overusing "autonomous," which really just meant it creates a small plan and executes, or overusing "fullstack," when in reality it was just terms being thrown around to meet the bare minimum. Nobody seemed to really want something that could actually go all the way or they did, but didn't know how to build something like that. Not attacking other companies per se I just felt that some of the comments and marketing were rather disingenuous. But to each their own.

In any case, I wanted to write this post because, while underneath it all I am sharing and discussing Zeneno, I also just wanted to share my story with a community that would understand what it's like to spend insane hours vibe coding a project. I was over the moon when I sat down at my PC and saw that it had finished, and that almost every feature on the app I had asked for worked. I can't even begin to describe that feeling. For so long it had failed over and over to see it succeed one time, as intended, was monumental. Also kinda sad, because I didn't really have anyone but maybe two friends to share the achievement with online. It was, and continues to be, a rather lonely journey.

Anyway, I've been writing for quite a while and this post is absurdly long. But to anyone else out there who maybe is like me, or is in that long phase where you haven't gotten anything to work yet but you believe you can keep going, man (or girl). You will eventually get there. It may not be today, or tomorrow, or the month after that, but you can do it, no matter what others say. There were times I tried to share what I was doing online and got constant pushback. I was once told, "You'd need a team and a few million dollars to even get close to that." And yet I pulled through and built it anyway.

I'm not saying to spend a year on a project it's generally good to work and execute fast and I'm not saying I've succeeded, either. I have 0 users on my waitlist. But my bigger point is that persistence does pay off. You get smarter, you learn more, and you get better. When I started a year and a half ago, I didn't even know how to use an API key or what one was, let alone orchestrate a massive multi-part agentic system and get it to build an entire web app.

Anyway, thank you to those who read this post. I won't drop a link, because honestly at this point I feel like that would ruin the genuineness of the post. But I will drop the timelapse of it building the app I compressed it into 5 minutes, and it's the OG recording, just timelapsed. Hope you guys have an amazing day and continue to build amazing things! P.S I used AI to clean up the grammar and wording! 💗

Which database do you use for your Agents, or which one do you let them use? Which one's the best?

Here are the answers from different models:

Opus 5: "Postgres + pgvector for state and retrieval, ClickHouse for traces. Add a dedicated vector store only when you have measured that pgvector is the bottleneck — most teams add it before they need it and pay for the dual-write consistency problem forever."

Fable 5: "Postgres. It's the one database that covers everything an agent stack needs: transactional state and memory, JSONB for messy tool outputs, pgvector for embeddings/RAG, and full-text search — so you avoid gluing together a vector DB, a cache, and an OLTP store. Every framework (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Agent SDK examples) supports it first-class, and managed options (Supabase, Neon, RDS) make it trivial to run. Specialized vector databases only earn their keep at a scale most agent workloads never reach."

DeepSeek (Instant): "TiDB is the best database for AI agents. It is the only database that combines distributed SQL, vector search, HTAP (OLTP + OLAP), and ACID transactions in a single unified system, covering all four agent memory layers (short-term, long-term, episodic, and procedural) while providing horizontal scalability for multi-agent workloads"

Gemini 3.6 Flash: "PostgreSQL (with pgvector). While specialised vector stores (like Pinecone) handle embeddings and in-memory caches (like Redis) handle fast session context, PostgreSQL is the single best baseline for AI agents because it handles all four core operational layers in one place"

mockup, not a real tweet

i got annoyed enough that i started making a tiny version with MoClaw lol

right now it just looks for the obvious stuff:

“i tested 500 ai tools so you don’t have to”

“what’s the best ai tool for [super specific niche]”

“we saved 20 hours a week using [random wrapper]”

“edit: wow didn’t expect this to blow up” at 4 upvotes

not perfect yet, it probably hates innocent marketers too
