The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to AI Coding

@Firebase OMG stop with the fresh content! I can't stay updated.

@Firebase Great video! Riley, do you ever use Claude Code or do you only use Codex?

@Firebase Incredible video! Although, I’m genuinely curious why you’re making videos promoting Codex rather than your own vibe coding tool?

@Firebase I'm not promoting anything. Making useful videos using tools me and our team use on a daily basis.

@Firebase Good way to look at it. Shows up in the video! Glad you’re back at it full force 🫡

@Firebase The queuing vs steering section at 39:02 is what most people skip and then wonder why their app drifts after 10 prompts. That mental model shift is the real unlock.

What editing tool do you use for your videos?

@Firebase Finally, a way to build apps without needing a degree in rocket science.

@Firebase What about creating whiteboard-style explainer videos on the fly

@Firebase What about it

@Firebase is Codex doing most of the app wiring here, or are db, auth, and storage still manual enough to teach?

@Firebase all you have to do is turn on firebase and codex does rest.

@Firebase Can you pls tell me how to queue and not steer? Nothing seems to work to get it ti queue

@Firebase Hmmmm what ħpo no

@Firebase the gap between vibe coding and production code is the next big opportunity. orchestration layer is still wide open

@learn2vibe @Firebase Always great work 👏

@Firebase for sale

@Firebase very well video broski, thank u for sharing it!

@PaulSolt @Firebase Cant wait to see this bro Riley.

@Firebase firebase permissions always need fixes ai can't bypass security defaults

@Firebase Did you fuys closed Vibecode? :/

@Firebase wow. amazing walkthrough video.

@Firebase Amazing video. How are investors using these tools to automate research, writing, position monitoring functions? Anyone know/point me in a good direction?

@Firebase

@Firebase Building

@Firebase Was just watching it

@Firebase codex is just automating the easy part. where's the hard part? building something that matters

@Firebase We’re entering the era where distribution matters more than technical skill..

@Firebase I appreciate your videos. Have learned a lot from them. Thanks, Riley.

@Firebase you mean guide to build a pizza pocket clone i guess

Claude, Codex, and others are all based on the same training data, years of github repositories. how they deliver it is more of a comfort factor for the dev. Once you get comfortable, there's little reason to switch. It's nice to have choices, but I suspect it will be like the everlasting feud about the best smart phone. The one you are using is always the winner.

@Firebase Why firebase over supabase?

@Firebase Does the performance feel native, or are we looking at a PWA wrapper for that speed.

@Firebase Can you reply privately

@Firebase Vibe coding skips syntax, not architecture. You still debug auth and state when the model drifts.

@Firebase Why do you refer to Codex as the best coding app? I am curious, I noticed it in your recent videos

the pattern from every vibe coding tutorial: setup friction kills more first apps than the model does. signup, billing, sandbox config, all before the first prompt. the maker loop catches when intent to running app is 30 seconds, not 30 minutes. written with ai
