Just finished developing this app using lovable.. ChatGpt and leonardo.ai . Please, my fellow developers kindly check it out.

Nice UI, try change the colour to something else because most vibe coded apps use purple, I just dont know why, abi na the only colour ai know ni

It is so easy to change the colour by prompting and it will look as nice as the purple version.

ok. Sir, How do you see the design?

It is very nice. Well done!

Thank you sir

LLMs are great at translating from one human or programming language to another. I ported my AI Agent written in Python to Go, Rust, Typescript, and Java over a couple of days. Now, whenever I change the Python version, the AI can translate the change to the other languages. My intuition tells me that maintaining a codebase in two languages (not 5) can lead to better code. I'm thinking, Python plus Rust.

I wrestled with Android supabase integration for a practice app yesterday evening. I thought it would be easy because supabase is the backend of choice for vibe coders. It wasn't. Eventually I discovered the problem - version hell. The AI was confused by the the changes between superbase 2.x for Kotlin, which is deprecated, and version 3.x. The problem was solved by feeding it the full documentation of superbase 3 for Kotlin below:

This is very interesting.
I love the fact that you have experimented with supabase

Seun:
It's so tiring when you are not familiar with the platform it's coding for you. My initial experience in Android was bad. The AI kept making mistakes that I didn't even understand. But in the process I learned the basics of Android (gradle, libraries, manifest, permissions, etc)
and I feel more confident to vibe code for it. When I go back to android I'll probably have to feed the AI with up-to-date documentation.

ok

If you run into any insurmountable roadblock while vibe coding, you can share it here and ask for help. We'd love to help.

Which AI Agent apart from chatgtp would you recommend?

Seun:
Hello Guys,

Since AI is so hot right now, I thought we should have a thread about it on Nairaland.

Though I used AI for writing some boilerplate stuff(e.g.regex) and generating ideas, my AI coding awakening started when I asked DeepSeek to generate a todo list app using Pygame, which was not designed for that purpose, and it gave me working code. That's when I realised that AI coding was a big deal and it became my main interest. I soon discovered that ChatGPT o3-mini was more reliable and used it to practice coding.

My Favourite AI Coding Tools Today:

* Cursor and Claude 4: The smoothest agentic experience I've had. It writes, tests, debugs, and designs code smoothly and efficiently.

* Gemini 2.5 Pro on AI Studio: Best for making big changes and solving major issues after other models have failed. You just upload all your buggy code, tell AI Studio what's wrong with it, let it cook, and then download the fixed version. It can also optimize the code. It's free!

Two modes of AI coding:

* VIbe coding. You ask the AI to write the code, then you test it, then you keep telling it what to change until you're satisfied. If the AI gets stuck, you ask it to explain exactly how the code works and what seems to the root cause(s). Then you tell it to go after the root cause(s).

* AI-Assisted Coding: You write the code, but use AI to support you by suggesting ideas and code, reviewing your code, testing it, etc. AI-Assisted coding is much cheaper and more pleasant than pure vibe coding because you don't get into loops like AI often does when it's in charge.

AI-coding Tactic I'm currently Trying

* Meta Prompting: Write an AI prompt to create a ______ app. Ask me *repeatedly* about *everything* you plan to include in the prompt until you know *exactly* what I want. Then write it.

Please share which AI workflows are working for you and what you've built with AI.

Good evening Mr Seun, I'm a Young software engineer with 5+ years of experience, and I was wondering if you'd let me reprogram the UI and layout for Nairaland site, I promise not to make it complicated

It would be as simple as the feedbacks and something everyone Modern

I would make sure not to make it overwhelming but rather, a little touch, no vibe coding. JUST RAW INTELLIGENCE

I'm not asking for pay, all I want is a big enhancement, please, just lemme do this

All I'm asking is for you to trust me and I would give you the best you can ever think of

Thanks for the opportunity

If you can to create a better UI .Use a skills which is a Readme.md or skill.md or use Google snitch for the UI and any AI ide like Google antigravity after importing the UI elements then generate the codes and features .

The documentation feeding trick Seun mentioned for supabase 3 is genuinely one of the best vibe coding techniques. AI models train on outdated data, so when a library has breaking changes between major versions, the model defaults to the old syntax and just keeps hallucinating fixes.

What works for me: before starting on any library I haven't used in a while, I paste the "Getting Started" and "Migration Guide" sections of the official docs into the context first. Prevents 80% of the version hell issues from the start.

Another one I use: when the AI gets stuck in a loop, ask it to list all the external libraries the current code depends on with version numbers. Then google each one to check if it's current. More often than not, e go be that one deprecated dependency causing the chaos.

Claude Opus 4.7 is here. The dumbing down of Claude Opus 4.6 was probably due to reserving GPUs for the new model. Please enjoy Opus 4.7 as much as you can. Hammer it well before they start dumbing Claude Opus 4.7 down to reserve compute for Claude Mythos.

i made a accountability app with claude, used firebase as my backend and I can say you won't really code something nice with Ai without knowledge of coding

Not really true. i have zero knowledge of coding, as in absolute zero, but i started last month and in six weeks, using Claude, Visual Studio Code, and Supabase, i have created a full production app thats currently in beta testing and this afternoon just finished a WhatsApp chatbot, adding Render and using Groq as my LLM.

all you really need is a deep knowledge of what you want to build, even if you dont know the nitty-gritty, know enough and challenge your AI to reiterate and give you better options and lines of code.

i still dont know and understand 95% of what Claude tells me or even where to paste lines of code sometimes, but i know what i want as output and what i dont like and i force it to adjust based on my own desires

You have a point, have a knowledge of what you want and let AI do the hardwork

It's what's called AI slop. The AI learned this is a "safe" or "correct" default for UI design.
Many unsupervised vibe codes turns out this way.
If your prompt is restrictive and well supervised U won't get AI slop results like this.

We Nigerians are full of ideas. This thread proves it.

But I've seen too many good ideas die not because they were bad, but because nobody tested them with real people before building.

I made that mistake. Spent months building and testing and adding features to make it perfect. Nobody wanted it.

So I built Valeed. It helps you find out if your idea has real demand before you invest time and money into it.

I'm opening it to 10 people this week. Free. Takes 2 minutes to set up.

If you have an idea you're sitting on and you're not sure if it'll fly, DM me.
