What you really want is >start with a moodboard, not a text prompt (sets the tone, vibe, style) >Rapid screen/component variations (based on moodboard) >Save fav look -> becomes design system (curate your favorite variations, instantly turn it into a design system) >AI assisted…
Hot take: the entire interface around vibe coding is wrong They all collapse design, flow, and build into one linear chat, which actually makes no sense. They’re code first -> visual last then you fight the code when the idea shifts. the workflow really should be a visual…

vibe coding react apps today kinda sucks at scale, you cyclical data dependencies stringed across different stores, useEffects, hooks tech debt is so bad that it's impossible to add features or fix bugs
I’m calling it now. ChatGPT’s push towards AI assisted self-therapy and empathetic personalization is the greatest technological breakthrough in my lifetime (barring medicine). By that I mean it will create the most good in the world.
happens in periods of instability - covid followed by trump's tariff crap, job market, and even AI being perceived as a threat when there is no stability, people get defensive by nature and they tend to lash out more and withdraw empathy nervous system stuff
