Can I ask, how much experience are you coming to the table with? I would love to make educational content around this and some of my approaches but struggle a bit on where the best step 1 is given the broad range of everyone’s starting points The number one thing I would say is to write out a full spec before you get started. Plan the work, then work the plan The other thing I have found is that fully agentic app dev is not for me I’m not good enough yet. Instead I work directly with an LLM and copy paste into my IDE. This way have a firm handle on what’s going on. No code gets in that I don’t look at first. It makes the app maintainable for me

the context is that I'm going to write an article about this, I don't actually want to vibe-code anything personally so maybe something useful would be, how much code fluency do you think someone realistically needs to get started? or like, to what degree does the practitioner need to be able to setup a dev environment? what does the dev environment look like for vibe-coding?

yeah this is THE question 😂 and it rly depends I think on what you are trying to do like you need 0 knowledge to open a Replit acct, use their agent, and have it make you a personal tool I think the calculus changes when you want to make products for others — you’re going to want to maybe customize things, have portability off Replit as you scale, easy to maintain code, etc — and then the knowledge burden starts to increase to having to understand what’s actually going on on some level @jrf would be interested to hear your .02

keccers are we about to start a vibecoding podcast?? i have a lot to say about this lol i don't use replit and i mostly build mini apps on farcaster, but i have built web apps before mini apps came out this year deployment and backend are still tough w no experience for the beginner a lot of the things i built (i) i deployed once and then added more pages for new ideas and (ii) simply didn't have a backend, just hacked my way around that working w api endpoints is much easier so that's where i'd recommend starting, but watch out for rate limits this definitely limits the possibilities for your app - you can find someone to help you but then you kind of need to learn the ins and outs of a new skill (e.g. databases) short answer: never been easier to build an interactive website, but apps are still complex organisms with lots of moving parts that can break (vibes notwithstanding)

Would even say it looks different when you’re transitioning from old coding ability to the new stack and adapting to projects that didn’t get preplanned with an AI spec
