When it comes to vibe coding...

Fast is slow.

And slow is fast.

That's the thing for me. I get being worried about the environmental impact etc. But ignoring AI completely and pretend it doesn't exist is not going to make it magically get better.

I get the general feeling but it seems strange to take it out on companies that actually try to create change rather than criticise the abusers.

So they would prefer no alternative at all? No counter power? Just Big Tech running rampant with no one challenging their practices?

Why is Bluesky so anti AI? I donโ€™t get it.

A brand offers a privacy-friendly way to use AIโ€ฆ

And most comments just hate it because itโ€™s AI.

Has anyone had success with using swarms of agents, taskmaster etc with Claude Code?

Every time I try, I find that giving small, well-defined tasks (aka going slow) beats going fast every time.

Is Test-Driven Development still the best approach when using Claude Code or is it now outdated?

Introducing Lorelight: AI Brand Monitoring Tool ๐Ÿš€ In this video, Iโ€™m excited to introduce Lorelight, our AI brand monitoring tool designed to give you actionable insights. I walk you through the project creation flow, showing how easy it is to start ...

Be honest, does this video suck?

I made it quickly before Lorelight's PH launch. To me it sounds kind of embarrassing.

My gf thinks it shows a real human touch. The one and only
@viperchill.bsky.social
thinks my accent sounds cool.

So what do you all think?

Claude Code fits my workflow perfectly because I spend 90% of my time reading research papers about machine learning and architecting and only 10% implementing.

Claude allows me to validate and disprove hypotheses 10 times faster.

I don't know why people say building is the easy part.

Even with amazing tools like Claude Code, building Lorelight.ai
and getting it to reliably handle entity resolution, enrichment, local AI models etc, has been way harder than marketing so far.

02.06.2025 06:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Claude Code is the best thing that ever happened to software engineering.

Change my mind.

Yeah I saw people saying it's better than other models according to benchmarks but no real feedback

Between the new DeepSeek R1, Claude 4 etc, there has been a lot of new AI models lately.

What is everyone using for coding? I currently use Claude 4 Opus for initial plans, then Sonnet for implementation. But even that is getting expensive.

Anyone tried the new DeepSeek?

Me: "I'm tired of language learning, too much competition."

Also me: Create Lorelight.ai, a B2B app in one of the hottest niches of 2025: AI search optimization.

I love Zed and @anthropic.com but Claude 4 Sonnet is getting really expensive.

Any alternative, almost as good models, that happen to be cheaper?

Not necessarily for all tasks but maybe for easier tasks.

Claude 4 just changed my admin password and just prevented me from accessing my own app's admin interface.

It's true what they say. AI truly is taking over.

Shipped Lorelight.ai yesterday, and I already have a company eager to try it.

During onboarding, I immediately realized Iโ€™d neglected one feature and spent too much time on others.

Thatโ€™s why shipping fast is essential, you donโ€™t know what your users will actually care about until you ship.

After 12 years running a B2C SaaS (and plenty of complaining ๐Ÿ˜…), I finally shipped my first B2B product:
lorelight.ai

It tracks what ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini say about your brandโ€”so you can catch risks early.

Early access is limited to 20 companies. Donโ€™t miss out.

One day before launch, I ripped out half my appโ€™s code.

Why? It was too complex, too soon.

I want to ship a genuine MVP, learn from real users, then iterate, instead of rolling out a bloated solution I canโ€™t scale.

The AI coding agent rollercoaster.

"You're absolutely right. Let's simplify and follow exactly what the documentation states, without any custom files or copying:"

1 minute later: "OK I disregarded everything the docs says and built a custom implementation just for fun."

I think it would have been a different type of learning. With AI, I gain wide, general knowledge faster. By hand, I would have learned deep, specific knowledge but would have less general knowledge.

Vibe coding during the weekend is great. Way fewer overloaded errors from Claude and ChatGPT.

Highly recommend.

I don't get people who say AI is not that great.

I have built my dream product in 3 weeks start to finish and learned a ton in the process.

This would have taken me months without AI. Honestly, it still blows my mind.

Haven't even launched and I have already been contacted by multiple companies eager to try @LorelightAI .

Feeling grateful and excited to share it with everyone soon!
