introducing agent-loops + ui viewer i gave droid+gpt5.2 codex dannys tweet asked to reverse engineer it then rebuilt matts loop system (gh issue → pr) hooked them together so you can run loops by creating issues locally, on gh or in your own ui. (+ stole Mario Zechner's session generator) repos: - agent-loop - loop ui

Vibe Coding Deathmatch wednesday afternoon full video Bolt, Replit, Cursor, Windsurf head to head building the same project simple prompts across all, the results were: 🥉 Bolt + Windsurf 🥈Cursor 🏆 Replit Reasons: - Bolt was quickest, got into a 'no-audio' issue early and couldnt fix easily. first out, but only because its so quick. - Windsurf just took longer to get to the same kind of bug, also no easy fix - Cursor was working really well, needed more coaxing than replit + bolt, but then a UI prompt messed it all up (likely user error 🙂) - Replit needed the least coaxing - like 5 prompts in total (before deployment), 2 of which were just like 'yes'. Deployment ran into some issues but got there in the end. (they should make it more obvious to deploy, and then redeploy after changes are made)

you're overbuilding stuff... grok/claude/chat all give you many ways to build something but i think you mostly only need: - claude - MCPs here's how i built a mini app using just those, i didn't actually need to 'build' much at all. mcps are still early, have finicky ways to configure/call/debug etc but feels like early chatgpt days where prompt engineering was v important. its def important with this setup.

1hr 37mins of vibe coding how i built a chrome extension for bolt with Bolt & Claude (to add your own feature rules) on friday afternoon, i didn't know what to build so i sorta hit record and let claude figure it out as i built it. (i was/am working on a cursor rules style post/video) i ignored asking for just one feature at a time i hit a bunch of bugs (one still persists...help?) i was stupid a bunch of times (one part i forget i've got two extensions installed on top of one another) some is painful to watch some is silent its just vibes until i had to go pick up my kids early from nursery 😠
