The hardest part of vibe coding as an experienced developer is the whiplash
You go from traveling 100km/hr to slowing to snail's pace, on a constant loop.

Just open sourced a Claude Code <> Slack bridge so you can run Claude in a VM and get it to do stuff without ssh'ing.
There are other libraries but none had the features I wanted.
Reeeally liking this single file approach - feels like it speeds things up a lot - took about 2 hours to vibe code with Claude Code.

This is true if…
- You are building very highly interactive frontends
- You don’t want to spend any time figuring out a playbook/set of patterns (which is completely fair and true of 99% of people)
It’s not because of any fundamental difficulty with doing this stuff without js, It’s just that js libs have consumed everything so there’s not as much material out there.
Because of this I don’t agree with the “you’ve got to be a masochist” framing. You just want to accept more up front work for lower long term complexity

Met a guy at a wedding last week who had read this book. It had created a completely closed epistemic loop, where every point I made was returned with either “We don’t know that because AI is grown not built” or “That is just blind faith”. One of the most frustrating conversations with a stranger I’ve ever had. I say this as someone who is way-more-open-than-most to “doomer” perspectives.
I’m guessing that was one of the goals of the authors - to create an ideology that withstands critique, so hats off to them for that. 100% brain-wormed. Sample of one of course. Interested to hear others experiences

@prisencotech @htmx_org I agree 100% with that last statement, ultimately it comes down to how it feels. If my app server takes 20ms to return the page, but when I test on hotel WiFi in SF and server’s in Europe, if there’s any latency at all (there will be) it feels slower than SPAs, and that’s where…

This is the sweet spot for me when building components with more-than-basic interactivity: A Minijs component that uses preact standalone for templating.
- Easy to follow: Very little framework-specific knowledge needed.
- I can do simple slot-based composition in the dom. e.g reorder/remove parts.
- I can use jsx for templating (technically htm but looks and feels the same.
- Super performant
- No build step

This matches my own general intuition that consciousness ain’t that special. Our brains got big enough to assign symbols to stuff, which was physical stuff first but then we started assigning words to non physical stuff like emotions and systems, and we stopped noticing the difference between words that represent real things and words that represent non-physical-things, and terms like “consciousness”, which is not attached to the physical world, became so vague as to assume a kind of magical quality.
At some point we learned how to use language inside our heads, and gained the belief that the voice we “hear” as we do that is our “self”. Combine that belief with a recursive loop of observing and narrating, and you have an emergent thing. That’s not to say human consciousness isn’t *different* to silicon consciousness, or that we should treat silicon consciousness with the same reverence that we do human, but it does feel like comparing flying - birds can do it or planes can do it, but it’s still flying.

Ryan himself wondered about this back in May, and don’t think Remix 3 really disproved this hunch. If you’re on react and thinking “how can I improve the ratio of complexity:value”, there’s more value in going full offline first than in using a slightly better React, IMO https://t.co/oheqhHL0x2

I'm slowly changing my mind on how much more value we can squeeze out of AI with the current architecture (LLMs).
Human inquiry/reasoning has multiple steps - we have a "hunch", then we get our thoughts out of our heads and verify them (e.g. writing an article or writing a maths proof). Then there's a loop as our reasoning modifies the original premise until it becomes logically coherent.
LLMs are already very good at the "hunch" phase. But we expect the base model to also do the verification step and come out fully formed. Surely it's better to just treat that phase separately and run it through the same loop *after* it comes out of the model?

Side point:
- Giving-a-shit declines when responsibility is distributed across many people, which means...
- Every additional new leader/owner added, reduces how much each one gives-a-shit, which means...
- To build a great singular product experience, the optimal management system is much closer to (benevolent) autocracy than democracy - than most people think.

The reason many products are low quality, or badly-thought-through, or dont-make-sense, is that it's actually very difficult to find people-who-care.
These products have talent in engineering and design - the missing piece is just the person-who-gives-a-shit

Part of the reason I have so much conviction in the html first stuff is the variety of things we’re building, which allows us to sense check & compare. Currently we’re working in parallel on:
- Online accounting platform with thousands of customers - html first rails, 2.5 yr old codebase
- E Learning platform with 100k MAUs - rails with stimulus & Hotwire. 8yr old codebase
- Contractor freelancing platform - html first rails. 3 yr codebase
- Fully digitised platform for a shipping port. HTML first rails, 4 yrs old codebase
- Internal tools for large salon software SaaS - html first rails - 3yrs
- YC backed AI customer support/training platform - next js/typescript
- Online US visa platform - html first rails, just started.
- Kiosk software for the construction industry - html first rails backend, preact standalone + couchdb for offline first frontend
- Consumer Mobile app with 1k downloads/day (react native/html first rails hybrid) - 2 months
- Consumer mobile app going viral on insta - pre launch (react native/ html first rails hybrid)
When https://t.co/c4irCqD8K4 went viral on HN a lot of the comments were “this guy has clearly never used this in practice” which shouldn’t get to me but it did - might have even fuelled all the work we’ve been doing to get it right.

So… I live in Amsterdam but didn’t get a railsworld ticket because I thought we wouldn’t be here for it. But we are, and I really would like to go. Is there anyone in my network that’s either selling one or would know how to come by one?
Cc @AmandaBPerino 😆

@bebraw Yeah - I think it might be possible to break the vibe coding -> production software barrier by radically eliminating complexity and adding constraints

Just had to let another otherwise-good developer go because they said they'd rather leave than figure out how to get better (with super clear feedback).
Sometimes when you remove ambiguity the reality is that many people simply don't want to do the work - and much more common at senior level

I think I’m gonna have to go build an html first vibe coding platform to avoid people being sucked in by takes like this

New Talk: "The Platform & A Stylesheet"
Covered:
1) The (insane) progress in the last few years and what you can now do with HTML (popovers, modals, styled selects and more), and..
2) Some ideas to bring the browser closer to handling things we take for granted in SPAs

@levelsio @david_perell I've also seen that (and I'm Irish and normalized levels of drinking there is IMO crazy). I think culturally vilifying *heavy binging* is good/reasonable and might in some cases discourage the circumstances where spiralling happens, but vilifying *all alcohol consumption* is bad…

@joebell_ @tailwindcss (I’m a big tailwind fan and have been using it for years), but I think “create a component for every large group of classes” has big limitations especially outside a component-friendly framework like react, and I’m wondering if you’ve ever thought those limitations would ever…

@joebell_ @tailwindcss <div class=“spinner text-blue”> where the spinner class is already on its own lower layer and text-blue is on the utilities layer, but the spinner class may not have been written with tailwind, follows the grain of the web and is less code (but it doesn’t purely use tailwind).…

@joebell_ @tailwindcss Joe I've followed you for a long time & respect you a lot. I'm sure you realize you're effectively re-creating cascading & native CSS specificity here, and as Adam mentions it also doesn't always work. At what point do you think it makes sense to simply not-use-tailwind for all…

@adrianthedev That’s how I ended up doing it too! The YouTube Vanbuild rabbit hole goes deep. I may do one when I’ve got it to where I want it - have only done a few trips on it.

@adrianthedev I’ve had 2 - first one did the initial build but the finish was bad, second one fixed it up. It’s taken 2 years and my takeaway has been I should probably learn to be more handy so I can do this stuff myself. But most recent van guy did the couch/desk unit which I’m v happy with

@jeffwhelpley @ChrisEsplin I like that way of framing it. I would largely use the approach you mentioned if those were my goals for sure - in particular Cloudflare. I went down a deep rabbit hole of building a site optimizer that would inline CSS and a bunch of other optimizations when doing e-commerce…

@jeffwhelpley @ChrisEsplin Thanks Jeff! I'm talking about web apps specifically (so I'm assuming behind a login). But while I have you - let's say I do load a 70kb (gzipped) blocking css file on a website - to what extent will google search penalize me for stats that look like this? https://t.co/6dVPsD5swS

An example: Tailwind Lite is 68kb gzipped. Yes that's "70kb of blocking CSS", but it's also the vast majority of all the classes your app will need, full stop. Seems extremely reasonable to me.

The more I've thought about it, the more I think the obsession with avoiding *any* excess kilobytes on first page load is silly for most web apps (excluding maybe e-commerce).
Web apps are designed for long running user sessions: A slightly longer-than-usual first request is 1) Not noticed by 99% of users, and 2) A reasonable way to give your browser the code it needs to run the rest of the web app.
(Talking about a few hundred kbs of css/js here, not MBs). On a half decent connection with server round-trip you're looking at a few hundred milliseconds. On very slow connections it's a few seconds, which is bad, but in that case the app is going to need all sorts of other optimizations, and even then, front-loading the assets often still comes out as best all-in solution, assuming you're not using a ton of libraries, which you shouldn't be in most cases.

Yeah. If you're a decent founder you generally work quite hard and think a lot about customer-desires. If you can force yourself into that mindset as an employee, and be ok with 30% of your work being dull/frustrating - you're already miles ahead of others - doesn't have to require long hours - simple not easy.

Gonna have to rename this - @tailwindcss folks understandably don't want to create confusion. New website/name on the way this weekend
