I built an iOS game Can you reach Capy reach the moon and adspace? Yes adspace apps.apple.com/us/app/launch…

So whats the difference between @paper and @pencildev ? And which one should I tried first with Claude Code

Claude Code: ✅ Creates a whole game with altitude, parallax effect, sounds, animations from a string of prompts ❌ Changes the font color to white after several prompts, CSS ingestion, screenshots, comparisons etc

And we have sound 🔈 Spent the last few early mornings building sound assets for Launch the Capy. Lo-fi jazz that speeds up as you climb made with @suno Rubber band and coin effects made with @elevenlabs Stitched together by Claude Code in seconds.

I know I had a good weekend when I can squeeze in a labor of love. Using Claude Code, I'm building Launch the Capy, a game where you help a Capybara reach the moon. In this session, I experimented with a parallax effect and rendering the game at 60fps; it looks so much better.

hey @designertom — here's Launch the Capy A Capybara dreaming of reaching the moon. Assets from GPT, Canva & Nano Banana, merged in Figma, built with Claude Code Xcode. Aiming for a fully working iOS game

software is still about thinking software has always been about taking ambiguous human needs and crystallizing them into precise, interlocking systems. the craft is in the breakdown: which abstractions to create, where boundaries should live, how pieces communicate. coding with ai today creates a new trap: the illusion of speed without structure. you can generate code fast, but without clear system architecture – the real boundaries, the actual invariants, the core abstractions – you end up with a pile that works until it doesn't. it's slop because there's no coherent mental model underneath. ai doesn't replace systems thinking – it amplifies the cost of not doing it. if you don't know what you want structurally, ai fills gaps with whatever pattern it's seen most. you get generic solutions to specific problems. coupled code where you needed clean boundaries. three different ways of doing the same thing because you never specified the one way. as Cursor handles longer tasks, the gap between "vaguely right direction" and "precisely understood system" compounds exponentially. when agents execute 100 steps instead of 10, your role becomes more important, not less. the skill shifts from "writing every line" to "holding the system in your head and communicating its essence": - define boundaries – what are the core abstractions? what should this component know? where does state live? - specify invariants – what must always be true? what are the constants and defaults that make the system work? - guide decomposition – how should this break down? what's the natural structure? what's stable vs likely to change? - maintain coherence – as ai generates more code, you ensure it fits the mental model, follows patterns, respects boundaries. this is what great architects and designers do: they don't write every line, but they hold the system design and guide toward coherence. agents are just very fast, very literal team members. the danger is skipping the thinking because ai makes it feel optional. people prompt their way into codebases they don't understand. can't debug because they never designed it. can't extend because there's no structure, just accumulated features. people who think deeply about systems can now move 100x faster. you spend time on the hard problem – understanding what you're building and why – and ai handles mechanical translation. you're not bogged down in syntax, so you stay in the architectural layer longer. the future isn't "ai replaces programmers" or "everyone can code now." it's "people who think clearly about systems build incredibly fast, and people who don't generate slop at scale." the skill becomes: holding complexity, breaking it down cleanly, communicating structure precisely. less syntax, more systems. less implementation, more architecture. less writing code, more designing coherence. humans are great at seeing patterns, understanding tradeoffs, making judgment calls about how things should fit together. ai can't save you from unclear thinking – it just makes unclear thinking run faster.

Vibe Coding 2.0? Zero technical ability needed.
What if you could design a highly detailed mobile app just by prompting, then click build? Reply “Raydian” if you’re interested

So let me get this straight if Im using Cursor and Im using Anthropic's Claude agent, am I using Claude Code or nah? I feel like Im missing the vibe while at the same time being on the vibe.

Which AI image generator tools, give you the ability to create 6000 pixels tall images?
78
say what you want about the "AI Bubble" but vibe coded got me here. And I've been trying for 5 years without success, until today.

Normalize creating apps for yourself or your kids. Working on one so I can share Sunday mass readings with my kids.

Hey @webflow, trouble getting form submission notification emails after domain migration. Any support articles or help? Added another email—it works, but not the original one. Checked spam, blocked senders, quarantine—nothing there.

Unpopular opinion but Spotify Wrapped should really go live in January (accounting the full 12 months)

All this talk about craft and nobody has stop to ask Can craft be taught?

which ai tool can generate paper-like, stop-animation-style animations? Which tools is dominating animations for reel-style videos?

here to say dont sleep on @raydian_dev Its never about how you can one-shot builds But thoughtful, methodical builds.

Finally got access to @raydian_dev now what should I build?
