Vibe coding from 6AM till now – what a day!

Vibe coding from 6AM till now – what a day!

Started the day early, got into flow right away. Used different AI agents, handed them screenshots, and started wiring up code directly into my app — all from the same chat.

As of writing this, I’ve burned through almost 4 million tokens.

  • Google AI Studio: hit the 1M token limit

  • same.new (premium): maxed out 2M tokens

  • Claude: ~0.2M tokens
    💸 Cost me around $30 today — mostly Claude and same.new.

But the output? Wild.
I knocked out 4 days worth of dev work in just 1 day.
From layout to boilerplate to reusable components — the pace was unreal.

What I learned:

  • AI drastically speeds up boilerplate and layout work — HTML markup, basic structure, repetitive code... done in seconds.

  • BUT, it’s not plug-and-play. You still need to analyze, tweak, and adapt the output based on your app’s structure and UI needs.

  • Context is king — the more clear your prompts and inputs, the better the output.

  • You’ll spend less time on HTML, CSS, and wiring up basic stuff — more time on higher-level logic and polish.

  • It's like having a hyper-productive intern who’s super fast but needs close guidance.

TL;DR: AI is here to supercharge your speed, not replace your thinking.
It helps you code faster — as long as you know what you’re building and don't blindly trust the output.

Overall: Great ROI on time and energy.
Now I just need sleep 😅
