Vibe Coding's Maturity Tipping Point
- Early AI coding experiences were rough, but now vibe coding hits a tipping point with improved quality and speed.
- Senior developers develop taste and learn to guide AI tools effectively, making the process less frustrating over time.
VR Rubik's Cube Built Fast
- Patrick built a VR Rubik's Cube game in one day using AI tools like Cursor and V0 despite being a beginner in VR and unfamiliar with the packages.
- He iterated the code and interaction with the AI, achieving functional VR experience quickly but struggled with nuanced controls.
Reset Prompt When AI Code Fails
- If AI-generated code is not about 80% functional after one or two prompts, throw it away and start fresh with a better prompt.
- Incremental fixing of bad AI code is unproductive; improve the base prompt to get closer to the desired result quickly.
