Results from My Vibe Coding Live Stream

Usually for my Code Break shows, I assume if folks miss it they’ll just check out the recordings, but while my earlier session is fresh in my mind, I thought I’d share a bit more about the session and a look at the code generated. It actually went a heck of a lot better than I anticipated to be honest, and was fun. To be clear, it wasn’t perfect, and I’ll touch a bit on what my tool of choice struggled with, but overall I’m really impressed with what I got built in an hour. What I Used and Why Constant readers here know I almost always use Google Gemini for anything AI related, but I’ve been trying to branch out a bit lately. Also, I found their Visual Studio... more →

Pixel Art via Vibe Coding

I am 100% against the term "vibe coding". To be clear, my issue is with the name, it just strikes me as, well, horrible. That being said, I’ve been using gen AI to generate code samples over the past few months and it’s been incredibly interesting at times. It absolutely requires technical skill to evaluate the results and to help guide the AI when mistakes happen, but it’s been fun to give this a few tries recently. This morning I gave Claude’s desktop app a try and gave it what I thought was a non-trivial prompt: can you generate JavaScript code that will look at an image in the DOM and convert it to simplified pixel art? I then submitted the prompt and stood... more →

Adventures in Vibe Coding – Really, Really Big Numbers

/ / No Comments
I continue to be really against the term ‘vibe coding’, but also continue to be fascinated by the idea of working with GenAI to help craft/enhance applications in an iterative, conversation-based manner. Ashley Willis recently released an incredibly well done post on the topic, "What Even Is Vibe Coding?", where she goes into detail on her take on the term and what it means for the industry. I think it is an excellent post and I want to highlight one part that really resonated with me: It scaffolds layouts, creates routes, fills in placeholder content, basically roughs out the shape of the thing I described. I still review it, refactor it, test it, and shape it into something... more →
