8/ Overall, the experience felt less like working with a senior engineer and more like working with a junior developer who lacks project context. By the time I had planned, generated, reviewed, fixed, and refactored everything, I could have built it myself in roughly the same amount of time.

7/ Every file becomes a validation exercise: Is this correct? Does it follow existing patterns? Are edge cases covered? Did it break something subtle? And there's always the temptation to approve it because "it mostly works."

6/ The hidden cost nobody talks about is code review. You don't eliminate review work. You generate more of it. Now you're reviewing hundreds of lines of code you didn't write and don't fully trust.

5/ What surprised me most: I expected backend to be harder because of performance, scalability, and architecture concerns. Instead, frontend needed significantly more manual intervention.

4/ I repeated the experiment using Cursor Auto. The outcome was almost identical. Both tools needed increasingly precise prompts to follow: - Architecture - Conventions - File structure - Existing UI patterns

3/ Missing things you'd expect by default: ❌ Edit/Delete actions on detail pages ❌ Delete confirmation dialogs ❌ Consistent UI patterns already used elsewhere Lots of additional prompting was required to align with the app.

2/ Frontend was the bigger surprise. It generated: Course List Course Detail Chapter Detail The pages worked individually, but didn't fit the existing application well. A classic context problem.

1/ Backend (planned with Fable, executed with Sonnet) was surprisingly close. ✅ APIs generated ✅ Swagger docs included ✅ Feature worked end-to-end But architecture, naming conventions, and file structure didn't match the project. Caching strategies were also missed despite explicit references.

This 😂

Woke up to know Fable 5 is restricted on PC, turned on the PS5 (Vibecoding is all I can do). Didn't know claude is releasing PS5 exclusives. What is this behaviour @AnthropicAI #fable #claude #ai #buildinpublic #openai #anthropic

There is a new Tax in market, AI Tax. I just resumed a session on Claude Fable, it asked me to continue with full summary or compact. As any insane dev I selected compact, took 2 minutes 25% of my usage is gone. I am not sure what else will I do for next 4hr 55min. Should I switch to max? #ai #claude #fable #mythos #buildinpublic #openai #codex #anthropic #gemini #dev #code #engineering #tax

Started working on the Courses 🔖 module for konnec.to 💪 What do you think a course module in a community platform include which is often omitted/overlooked? #buildinpublic #saas #community #connect

Confession: For the last 4 months I knew KonnecTo needed cache stampede protection. I also knew nothing would probably break without it. That's exactly why it never got prioritized 😅 Finally shipped it today. Now cache expiry won't turn into a thundering herd hitting the database during traffic spikes. • Single-flight request coalescing • Stale-While-Revalidate (SWR) • Predictable database load ~50 lines of code. One less item on the "future outage postmortem" list. Are your services protected against cache stampedes, or is it still sitting somewhere in the backlog? #BuildInPublic #SaaS #BackendEngineering #SystemDesign #Startups #IndieHackers

Here's to everyone who is Trying. Was playing RE4 yesterday to cool off and it was brutal. At the end of the chapter, It showed me times I had died trying, 9. But that's how life is too. Sometimes you have to keep trying, improving, to absolute success. #growth #gaming #saas #buildinplublic #founders #development

BUN is the new NODE? If you're a MERN Stack / JavaScript developer and you haven't tried Bun yet, you're missing out. I was skeptical at first. Node.js has been the default choice for years, and most of us have built entire careers around it. But after using Bun in multiple production projects, it's become my default runtime for almost everything new I build. Why? ✅ Blazing fast startup times ✅ Extremely fast package installation ✅ Built-in TypeScript support ✅ Native test runner ✅ Built-in bundler ✅ Better developer experience with fewer dependencies ✅ Lower memory usage for many workloads What I love most is that Bun reduces the amount of tooling you need. Instead of stitching together Node ts-node Jest Webpack/Vite other utilities, Bun handles a surprising amount of that out of the box. Curious how many developers here have already switched to Bun for production workloads.
