I have written some hacky code before vibe coding was a thing, but I wouldn't know the first thing about Javascript and React and all that. I don't need to know how to code for my job or anything, and I'm not making anything groundbreaking, so I figure I'm just going to pay for a GitHub copilot subscription and treat it as a slightly more productive hobby than watching YouTube.

If people find my (non AI written) custom NIP useful I'll probably try to non-vibe a relay that works with it, but otherwise would hope that somebody who actually knows what they're doing would implement it into a better client.

I wouldn't consider such a stressful activity a hobby but fine

Lol 90% of the time it's a fun thing with the feeling of infinite possibilities, the other 10% is me cussing out the AI and trying to manually fix broken stuff

how much have you spent so far?

Probably quite a bit of time, I've been doing a lot of experimentation with some different tools and projects. Often it's during quiet parts of work shifts when I can jump between my personal computer to write a few prompts and my work computer to do work, but I wouldn't be surprised if I found out I had some form of AI code editor open for 40-80 hours over the last couple months.

Oops, saw this in my notifications, probably meant cost not time. Used a Gemini free trial, then tried one month if ChatGPT for 20$, used a GitHub Copilot free trial last month before paying 10$ this month for a subscription, and put 25$ into open router so far. Trying to do everything on the cheap since I have no financial incentive to use the best, spent a little over $50 since I started vibe coding in April.

thank you for the detailed report

that's quite a bit but I guess it could have been spent with other "hobbies"
