sspross | 2 months ago | on: Is vibe coding for any one else so much fun?

I vibe coded an app and I'm kind of embarrassed how happy I am with the result and how much fun it was!

I'm a senior dev with 20+ years of experience. In my day job, I started to use Claude Code to carefully craft pull requests. Which works quite well in projects where I can point Claude to existing code like "do it similar to this feature" etc.

But this was different. It started when I needed to combine audio tracks from two versions of the same movie. I was putting together ffmpeg commands, manually figuring out sync offsets, and thought hm, let's vibe code a UI for that.

Three days later I have a full Electron app. Yes, Electron. I know. My RAM knows too. But I don't care! It was just soo much fun just thinking about the next little feature I need and want to do and how fast I could iterate. The feedback loop was addictive.

And it works, it solves my problem, and I actually finished a side project for once. Any one else having this experience?

me too! for music there are good and paid consumer solutions. i like popcorn, because they are (at least i hope) pushing the movie industry into the right direction...

Come to Switzerland! You'll love it and as an enterprise java dev you'll find a job. Maybe I can help you here in Zürich, silvan.spross[at]gmail.com

I don't know if fireing Vic Gundotra is helping, but I definitly agree with all the other points. How Google is trying to forcing us into G+ is just too much and annoying... And I think they harm themself with ranking pages better if they integrate G+...
