(I am currently 18 so you have actually been coding since more than two times my whole lifetime so y'know there's that.)

I wish to ask you for some feedback and clarity and further concrete resources because I feel a little confused/lost regarding the whole vibe-coding situation, I wish to say thanks in general though as nonetheless your comment finally made me concretely express all the nuances brewing in my stomach about vibe-coding and how I often nowadays feel as if I may be falling behind if I don't know how to do it "accurately", I would love and really appreciate to get a more in-depth response if possible.

I have said the same thing as you have said as well sometimes if not mostly that AI is a tool which should be used sensibly (as I think that this is what you are intending to say as well)

Within the contexts of vibe-coding though, I would really appreciate it if you could explain to me in more depth about the whole process and workflow that you follow if possible and how much drastic change has that been in. I would love some concrete examples or repositories or just some pointers that I can help to improve myself further.

Here are some other thoughts that I have on the matter:

When you mean design review, are you just architecturing suggesting it the main architecture itself, for example. I mostly do "create me a golang web application which uses htmx/templ/modernc sqlite about XYZ" and then create a more detailed prompt from it which I then pass onto the agent to complete and give me a single binary at.

Most often than not though after this point, I haven't felt the need to change the architecture after the first initial setup and afterwards I point the changes that I wish to be done like "I want X1 Y1 Z1 changes" and if it breaks something then just showcasing what breaks, and taking feedback then "it just works"

The architecture sounds solid to me, I love golang as a language and I run multiple such apps on same 500mb/1gb ram servers and use cf tunnels in the middle.

For styling, I mostly prefer monospace-web theme because that's what I personally really like a lot but recently I found that giving first prototype to chatgpt and asking it to generate image then it can create a decent UI as well.

An example website that fits the pattern: https://mirror.forum

So what are the things which I should do though now? Should I attempt at reading the code and trying to understand it completely (I think that golang's mostly standardized method of doing things helps in reading AI code) or should I treat myself as thinking more about (seams?) or other technical terms that I found described within obra/superpowers or matt-pocock and other skill driven development oriented stuff.

Can I learn these stuff through AI itself as well and I wish to generate my own projects as well because I still believe that there's some joy in that as well as I find vibe-coding to be sometimes a bit hollow[1] [not sure though as the atmosphere has changed, earlier people used to be extremely critic of it whereas now more accepting]

I can be wrong, I usually am but what I am finding the most shocking is that although we are constantly seeing new tools and I try to be more well aware of them and always curious about it, yet I don't know at the same time where to actually proceed because the projects are just being built enough yet I don't know if I am doing standardized practices enough or how to really meaningfully improve such practice if vibe-coding is really such valuable then I would prefer to learn the more technical way of doing so and how experts within the field actually do vibe-coding.

Thanks and have a nice day and I would love to hear your/the community's response.

    Windows

    Each story opens in a window holding its article above its discussion; drag the bar between them to share the room differently. A window can be moved by its title bar, resized from any edge, snapped to a half or a corner by dragging it there, maximised, or minimised to the bar at the foot of the page. Use Window > New reader window to open an empty reader, or Story > Open in new reader window to open another reader for the current article. Docked readers keep their articles when you select another story from the sidebar. Minimized readers can be restored and reused for their site. A window's Next story link reads on down the list in the same window.

    A link in a comment or an article to another Hacker News or Lobsters thread opens that thread in a window too. A link to a single HN comment opens the comment above its replies.

    While a story's window is in front, the Story and Discussion menus in the menu bar hold its commands: pinning, Next story, sorting, collapsing every thread, jumping to the first new comment. Each window also remembers where you were in its article and discussion, so a reload, or Back to a story that Next took you past, finds your place again. Closing a window forgets it.

    The whole arrangement lives in the address, so a bookmark or a shared link brings it back, and Back undoes the last change. Moving between Hacker News, Lobsters, their lists, Pinned and Find changes only the list, and leaves the windows open.

    The list

    The pin at the start of a row keeps the story in Pinned, and the cross at its end hides it. Pinned can be narrowed by words in the title, site or author, by source, and to the stories you haven't opened yet, and ordered by when you pinned them, by points or by comments; the filters are part of the address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked. Scroll past the end of the list to load more. Domain filters, in the View menu, hide every story from a site.

    Collections are named lists of stories. Story > Add to collection files the story in front into one or more of them, and the Collections feed shows them all or one at a time; the menu that chooses collections also creates, renames, and deletes them. A note is your own text on a story. Choose Add note in a story's toolbar to write one; it saves as you type. Rows with a note carry the note mark, and the Notes feed lists every noted story and searches the text of your notes.

    Browsing view

    View > Windowed and View > Classic select the browsing view and save your default in this browser. Window view reuses a reader for each feed. Classic view opens stories and applets as pages. Open as a page is a one-off action that does not change your saved default. Use the Windowed selector to return an article to a window. Direct page links always open as pages.

    Applets

    The Applets menu in the menu bar holds three tools, each a window of its own. Replies to me takes your Hacker News user name and lists the replies to your last thirty comments and stories, checking again every three minutes while it is open, and marking what is new since you last marked them read. Look up a user opens a profile on Hacker News or Lobsters, with their submissions and recent comments, as a commenter's name in any discussion does; the bar at the top of a profile looks up someone else in the same window, and Back returns to the one before. Who is hiring? filters the posts of HN's monthly hiring threads by the words you type.

    They read only what the sites publish to everyone, so none of them asks for a login, and your user name stays in this browser anonymously and is included in retained applet state when signed in.

    Find

    Find takes any link and lists every time it was submitted to Hacker News and Lobsters, so you can read each discussion of it.

    About

    YAVCHN never sees your Hacker News or Lobsters login. The discussion is fetched from each site's public API; to vote or reply, follow the link above the discussion, or the arrow beside a comment, to the source's own site. Without a YAVCHN account, your data stays in this browser. When signed in, pins, collections, notes, blocked domains, and retained reading state are stored with your account and synchronized across devices. Hidden stories and layout stay in this browser. The privacy policy has the details.
