Everyone has an opinion on vibe coding. Here is my experience a few months in: -produced unreviewable code -fixed dozens of bugs -shipped code now in production -analyzed crash reports for common patterns -made multiple prototypes quickly -annoyed devs with PRs -produced and tested with tens of files a working nostr app with a team of vibe coders in 24 hours that is better than most nostr apps -found interoperability bugs -found privacy leaks -found security vulnerabilities -found issues, gaps in deep technical libraries -learned what commits, rebasing are by doing -built a working zero-copy video player SDK -upgraded SDKs with bugfixes, CI, or feature upgrades -built a crash reporting prototype -built a nostr native push notification implementation for Android -built a integrated wallet prototype -a bunch more stuff -much of will never get merged -a bit which I hope will be useful to devs and their customers I’m still learning how to better work with devs. I now understand stuff I never could have about software engineering when I just wore a product hat. It’s not a replacement for the devs on the things worked on already. I became a code contributor. I’ve gotten my dev teams to embrace and tinker with agents. A lot more is possible now without having the resources to hire more devs. I aim to better serve devs and customers, and am better equipped to do so now.

Something you are very interested in happens in the world of independent tech. Do you prefer to: 1) be notified by push notification 2) be notified by email 3) do not let your life be moved by pavlovian spells such as the above #asknostr
