Building @kodebase.ai | Architect turned Developer | Father of two
Let’s retire the idea that only “coders” can create software. Share your prompts, patterns, and guardrails. If we combine domain expertise with AI leverage, we’ll ship better tools, faster, and broaden who gets to build.

Frontier agents can one-shot simple apps. Complex products still demand structure, testing, and security awareness. But the bar to start is dramatically lower, and the feedback cycle is faster.

Dialogue: Communicate with AI precisely; inputs, interfaces, and test cases.
Delivery Loop: Ship in small phases, review, and refine.

Vibe coding isn’t about skipping fundamentals forever. It’s about prioritizing outcomes when time and resources are scarce. The leverage comes from three skills:

Destination: Define the result, constraints, and acceptance criteria.

That pattern shows up everywhere. We over-index on how to make the map and under-invest in using the map to get somewhere. In software, the parallel is vibe coding: using AI to move from intention → working software without first mastering every layer of the stack.

I kicked it up a notch, refining the design to reflect my unique style and flair. I'm constantly adding fresh ideas, especially for the workout player.

Interested in testing it out? I’ll send you the GitHub link once I wrap up the initial phase.

Dev here. I’m building something on my own. I’m always wondering if I need a co-founder, and in what speciality, and what position will I meed to cover with my first hiring if what I’m building gets any traction. Is there a system to analyze this?

Thanks for the valuable insights. It is indeed important to build solid, real connections, in this crazy world where it seems only the loudest wins. The unique stories perspective is indeed fundamental to get out of the crowd and showcase your unique position and views.

This is how I've been building
@kodebase.ai for over a 1 month now. All the code was AI generated, but carefully following my curated rules and processes. I'm so impressed with what I've been able to build with my team - me, Claude, Gemini and o3.

I've moved to a context engineering process based development, where instead of hard rules, you provide the agent a set of guides that allow them the flexibility to proceed, but following your processes and flows.

Leveraging linters/tools to create constrains, is the way to go, since it's impossible to guarantee 100% execution otherwise.

While building @kodebase.ai I noticed how it's easy to try and create static process, hard for LLMs to follow and execute with success.

Exactly. Youtube is the last premium product I’ll cancel. I don’t use the algo, since I rely mostly on subscriptions, so I see mostly what I care about. For that, it is awesome
