Making applied software solo (using AI and computer)
Index note Replit personal-pulse app; description-functional vs core-functional
Although as good as new, the term ‘vibe coding’ was once new, but now it is an derogatory term for programmers, and from social media, it only sounds irresponsible coders flying on comfort and lazyness, living in a self-made delusion of reality that they want to live in, so I will no longer use this derogated term ‘vibe coding’.
Anyways, making applied software in solo mode, requires extensive knowledge of core tools i.e. programming languages of all sorts, and basics of all kinds.
What it once was was using core functionals to build the software for a specific application, vs now there is description functional which describes the software based on its description and working.
Bugs in the coding regime have been replaced with arguing with imperfect AI. Ofc, its more like a boss that has AI employee, and is asking all the details to it, because it does not have the culture-and imagination (programmed yet), to produce software that is appealing and functional.

All of this retrospection comes from my recent app I’m coding using replit:
https://personal-pulse-ajinkyagorad.replit.app/
which seems to be a lot of work just to even ask for it…

Well, what matters is once the software or the output whatever is generated is working, is the time taken to produce a piece of workable deployable software.
Description functional (what the software or application (here html with backend) is about or what it does) is must, but then core functional can allow as detailed control that is not possible using natural language (but it must be known to the user).
