Vibe coding is what happens when you let an AI write code you don’t fully understand, ship it anyway, and then deal with whatever it does in production.
These posts are field notes from building real, recurring tools:
- a promo generator
- a model evaluator
- content discovery
- and plenty more automation ideas to support my workflow
No sanitized tutorials. No success-only stories. Just honest accounts of what local AI models do when you ask them to carry actual work, and what you have to fix when they get creative.
What you’ll take away
By the end you’ll know where a 3B to 7B model on your own machine is good enough, where it quietly isn’t, and the handful of patterns (two-pass prompts, loud Makefiles, tests the model can’t talk its way around) that made these tools dependable enough to run every day.
