Turns out being a manual-code type of guy sucks and wont do the work in consultant companies and this crazy fast-paced brainrotting tech world. My framework of thinking is like this step-by-step:
- Analyze the input and output.
- Business logic on what’s going on within, how each feature going to work or will interact with each other.
- Scalability of the feature for later, this will be mainly/usually be discussed with tech team co-workers.
- The use of technology itself, what’s best and what not.
- Execution.
The win-rate for this usually about 80%. The other percentage is an edge-cases when you need to chase deadlines, speed, crazy ultra-stupid work. And of course consultant company doesn’t care about all of the steps, they just want the end product to be delivered in crazy speed. Now you’d be wondering how do I take care of the rest percentage? It’s unrealistic to implement all of that in 1-4 weeks for one guy to happen.
Enter AI LLMs. Instead of doing “mas, minta joki donk” or bid listing your work tasks to the internet, you should make use this technology of AI. I’ve been super idealistic to not depend on AI for work/studying for 3 years since the first LLM release (ChatGPT), it was a huge heart-breaking moment of realization that I really *need* to depend on it in my first (failed) job. Now here I am. So how do I use it is actually the same now as I usually do with my framework of thinking but with just extra juice of AI.
These are the updated steps now:
- Analyze the input and output. (use your own mind)
- Business logic on what’s going on within, how each feature going to work or will interact with each other. (your mind + Qwen/Claude)
- Scalability of the features for later, this will be mainly/usually be discussed with tech team co-worker. (your mind + Qwen/Claude)
- The use of technology itself, what’s best and what not. (discuss with ur team lol)
- Execution. (your mind + Claude, Qwen, Gemini, Chatgpt, and Copilot for speed)
“what if i ran out of token? what should i do?” idk lmfaooo. And yeah, that’s just about it. Sorry for saying these will make you dumb even though in some way it really do.
precaution of doing vibe work, please do:
- use your code style.
- always make it DRY and KISS.
- its hard to debug vibe-coded mess, so you should vibe-debug the mess too and do manual work.
- pray to god it will work cause sometimes its a gamble (skill issue)
