Okay, so.
Instead of rolling in my bed all day, like we usually do on Sundays, I decided to get out and do something.
I was at Vibe coding with
@vercel V0, a meetup organised by
@LocalDev_ in Pune.
The whole concept was to use V0, the vibe coding platform from Vercel to come up with something and demo the same to a bunch of cool devs.
I, a firmware engineer by profession, have vehemently rejected the very idea of vibe coding. I cannot afford to have slop in my Linux modules, or in the bootloader that I wrote for an STM32H749 MCU now, can I!
Well, I've always been intrigued by the whole concept, and I wanted to try my hand at it.
So, I showed up, and got a sweet 10 credit code for Vo by Vercel, and I decided to build something that I actually wanted to use at work.
Lads, anyone who's worked with linux knows just how vast the man pages are. Finding what you need to use while working with the kernel is a task in itself!
So, I decided to vibe code something that I desperately needed, and that is a chat-bot for the man pages of Linux!
Free credits, a free groq API key, and a couple hours with V0, and boom - I made
v0-friendlier-lunis.vercel.aโฆ !
It was super fun to do, and while I will never vibe code at my job, it's fun to fuck around with to say the least.
Overall, 10/10 experience, would recommend.
