I just spent 10 USD credit to top up my Anthropic credits and try Claude Code.
And I love it ! 😊
But this post is not about vibe coding using terminal like a cave man.
Let’s appreciate how AI coding make my job redundant err easier …

Stone Age – Once upon a time … Pre AI
You go to stackoverflow, read the most upvoted answer, copy and paste the answer.

Silver Age – Manual AI Coding / ChatGPT
Go to OpenAI ChatGPT / Claude Website and manually key in the chat / prompt and manually copy paste the code generated.

Golden Age – AI / Vibe coding 💸
This is where you spend money to get more money or die bankrupt.
The amount of tokens / credit required can make you broke like how you move to AWS paying NAT Gateways *cough*.

IDE Integration aka choose your hammer / chainsaw
Cursor
Windsurf
VS Code + Copilot
Jetbrains Junie

UI / Frontend / Mockup coding
bolt
lovable

Futuristic Age – Next level ?
Non-technical person or product owner can just type their user story and “prompt” in Jira or Trello task board, the AI will generate the code and create a pull request to be merge to final code branch. All these run in separate VM.

Something like Google Jules ? https://jules.google/

Notes:

Standard Prompt for Code Generation
https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCoding/comments/1f51y8s/a_collection_of_prompts_for_generating_high/

Anthropic Prompt Library
https://docs.anthropic.com/en/resources/prompt-library/library


My current favourite / cheapest way
Step 1 – Open https://speechnotes.co/dictate/ or if you have money https://wisprflow.ai/
Step 2 – Use my microphone and edit the prompt later like Ironman giving command to Jarvis
Step 3 – Paste to web based “chat”gpt / Gemini / Claude / DeepSeek free versions. Refer Silver Age.
Step 4 – ???
Step 5 – PROFIT


Alternatives
You can just create a heavy, big and long documentations with a bunch of sequence diagram and anything with boxes and arrows that nobody else understand.
That is your prompt.

Outsource to software developer in India or Malaysia

You pay money

You get your app / code

If you vibe code and scold the AI, the AI will just give AI answer.
But with offshoring you can at least interact with human being and blame them.

LOVE LIVE AI CODING ! Woot !
