Let’s get some disclaimers out of the way: I have zero experience or training in computer programming. My university degree was in accounting and finance, and prior to AI, my claim to fame was using WordPress to publish blogs and eCommerce websites. Therefore, all of my programming projects are “vibe” coding projects because I can’t do it otherwise. I never anticipated that my workflow would evolve to include regular CLI proficiency, terminal-based environments, and deep configuration within VS Code and similar IDEs. What a time we live in when anything is possible with AI.
List of Projects:
My First App - This was the first “vibe code” project I tried on Google AI Studio using their IDE. Just a simple application of 3 main decision making frameworks to answer the user’s question. Not rocket science. But the whole point was to learn how to go through the app development process in the IDE, as well as using GitHub and Vercel to publish the app in my own domain. The project itself is pretty rudimentary, but it’s amazing how much you can learn just by diving in and getting it out there.
Quartz 4 - This website is built entirely on Quartz version 4. It already links to my Obsidian file (which I use every day), so it becomes extremely easy for me to update my live website whenever I have time. Installation is not easy; it requires use of the terminal and a lot of editing of system files using Visual Studio. But once the pipes are connected, it’s a joy to use. It’s like having a direct link from my mind to the world. Because I use Obsidian daily anyway, I can add anything I want the world to see by just writing it in Obsidian.
In Progress:
- Local Sovereign LLM Project.
NOTE
I have about three other projects in the pipeline that have not reached MVP level yet. Each project, however, is an opportunity for me to gain XP in coding.
