I've been vibing a side thing in the background for a week. I break it into small tasks, think through the architecture and major important pieces. Then roocode and Claude do next task in several minutes. Sometimes it goes crazy and I had to rollback. Sometimes it's stuck and I have to figure things out. But if you treat it like a super productive junior, it's fascinating. It would take me at least 3 weeks full-time to get where we are now. Just don't think it can do big things alone.

100% my experience. What’s roocode?

Thanks I’ll check it out! Do you hack on it or just use it as-is? (You personally that is)

Just use

Trying it out now, liking it so far!

I think my problem is that I think by coding. It makes it very uncomfortable to switch to planning mode and let someone else have all the fun of actually building. But I think this is the right way to use it.

This πŸ’― which is my main grip and struggle as well

I felt the same way with main projects, but starting from scratch is much easier, just make me a prototype and we'll figure it out. There are enough important pieces to think about and leave mundane to the bot
