Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes send zaps! 💜🤙🏻🫂

8 and 12. ill try larger ones and see if they're more useful, but honestly i don't mine playing for claude while it's leading the pack.

i used ollama and open source models in testing and they just cannot be compared to claude opus 4.5. maybe in a year things will be different.

never stop vibing. times have changed over the last 8 months. now i build projects that cost $1-$50 per project.

i'll be there in 3 weeks :)

but you're basically correct here. that's what i did. i blew through a lot of money and learned a lot over the last year. and now i am teaching people classes all of the time so that they can benefit.

in about 6 weeks im teaching several classes here in my area, educating small bussines owners and entrepreneurs!

and since then i've built countless applications for fractions of the cost of the initial learning period :) if you need some help let me know. i've learned a lot of the last 8 months of build non stop every single day.

Nah. I have always wanted to find the time to learn more than I know or have used, but with AI, there is zero point. I've made dozens of apps and micro services over the last 8 months and it's only getting better.

I was recently reminded by nostr:nprofile1qyfhwue69uhnzv3h9cczuvpwxyarsvpcxyq32amnwvaz7tmpvanhytnwdaehgu3wd3skueqqyqvfqhg2t43r4wq6nzaf33vzh4040ujsd34cpzg9l3ve6ksty2dss3e99mm of how frustrated I was with vibe coding about eight months ago. I had already spent hundreds of dollars on a project, and it was still full of bugs and half-baked features. The idea was great, but it clearly needed more work, which meant more time and more money. I was close to giving up. I was genuinely close to walking away from vibe coding altogether.

But I’m not a quitter.

I kept going and invested even more, eventually spending around $800 on my first serious project using Goose and Gemini 2.5 Pro. Since then, the tools have improved dramatically. The models are better, faster, and more capable. But more importantly, I got better.

I now see that phase as a learning and teaching experience. I learned how to communicate with AI effectively, how to guide it, correct it, and push it toward better outcomes. I learned the tricks of the trade and how to actually use AI as a real development partner. I kept building and I eventually won. That frustration wasn’t wasted at all. It was the cost of learning how to build in a new way.
