I've been an EM for the last 10 of my 25 year Software Engineering career. Coding is, frankly, boring to me anymore, even though I enjoyed doing it most of my career. I had this project I wanted to exist in world but couldn't be bothered to get started.
Decided to figure out what this "vibe coding" nonsense is, and now there's a certain level of joy to all of this again. Being able to clearly define everything using markdown contexts before any code is even written has been a great way to brain dump those 25 years of experience and actually watch something sane get produced.
Here are the stats Claude Code gave me:

- bojo 8mo agoIn case anyone is curious, here was my epiphany project from 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/boj/the-project https://github.com/boj/the-project I then realized I could feed it everything it ever needed to know. Just create a docs/* folder and tell it to read that every session. Through discovery I learned about CLAUDE.md, and adding skills. Now I have an /analyst, /engineer, and /devops that I talk to all day with their own logic and limitations, as well as the more general project CLAUDE.md, and dozens of docs/* files we collaborate on. I'm at the point I'm running happy.engineering on my phone and don't even need to sit in front of the computer anymore.
- UnlockedSecrets 8mo agoHow much did this type of project cost you to make?
- bojo 8mo agoWhat kind of costs are you thinking?

- darkwater 8mo agoInteresting! I wonder if this line > It will configure an auth_backend.rs and wire up a basic user over a big enough number of projects will lead to at least 2-3 different user names.
