I told my wife yesterday that all I feel like doing is building things
Discussion
Right now I spend a bunch of time integrating AI tools into apps, but I hear soon we’ll have built in integrations (probably already do that I’m not aware of) where everything will have access to some model or another. This is going to open up so many new paths. Obviously developers have been doing it for a while now but is vibe coders have to “manually” connect to an API, but not for long.
are you using MCP servers?
I’ve only used v0 and cline mostly. Don’t know if either qualify. V0 basically does all the code generation for you and deploys to vercel. It has limits. Cline is more flexible and you can do things like extensions with it and deploy elsewhere.
Both tools are somewhat dumb though. They constantly have to read all the files - especially Cline. I sort of hate it. Is that what MCP solves?
Same. Waiting for someone to write ‘Vibe coding Bitcoin’.
oh yea, i was gonna make a video to show how i got some stuff done. managed a simple nostr publishing app, but still working on my first bitcoin (lightning)
we’re hosting an Vibe Coding Bitcoin hackathon at Presidio Bitcoin in mid-May in SF. lemme know if you’re around and i’ll forward details/applications when they’re published
Definitely interested
Are you using VS Code with the Cline extension? How does your Vibe code setup look like?
i’ve messed with Replit Agent, Cursor+Claude Sonnet 3.7, Windsurf+Gemini Pro 2.5
diff tradeoffs, will prob stick with Windsurf for near term (next few days lol)
also want to try Cline, Goose/VSCode, and open to others. what have you found so far?
I am very much at the beginning. My colleagues have tried a lot more so far.
Cline in VSCode with Gemini 2.5 pro; let's you build a website that accepts lightning payments with a bitcoin-connect.com button in 2 lines in one shot.
Do you what tooling AI hackathon participants prefer to use, so we can get familiar with that.
