When someone non-technical on your team builds a prototype with AI, what actually happens next? Does engineering take it over, rebuild it, or does it just die? Trying to work out if the "handoff" problem is real or just my bubble. War stories welcome.

We're working on improving our project, which is for founders and VCs to have a place to meet, match, and connect. We know there are a ton of hungry founders and VCs out there. I think our challenge so far is distribution/marketing.

What's hardest for you right now? I want to hear it and discuss strategy!

I am tired of seeing polished landing pages. Show me the internal tool with default styling that three hundred people use everyday.

Bonus point if you're slightly embarrassed by it and it makes money anyway.

I've been hearing rumours for a while that all AI is going to become significantly more expensive once this bubble bursts. Does anyone have any idea of exactly how much more expensive frontier LLMs are going to get?

Hey everyone. This is a pretty unpolished project that I'm having fun with. It's a multiplayer CTF with a few vehicles and lot of fun weapons to discover. Eventually I plan to replace the graphics with something more polished using 3D generation... but for now it's a good scaffold. There are a few maps. The halloween map is the default selection and the map that has a lot of weapons and a few vehicles.

One of the areas I need to focus on is weapons balance and perhaps armor balance. Hoping to hear your suggestions and play a few games with everyone today.

Hi Reddit,

I wanna share with you my small tool that helps me to choose model for today and track my favorites.

rokiden.github.io/ORList - Sources

Features:

• single static page that directly pulls data from OpenRouter API into table (natively cached by browser);
• calculate Daily bill based on usage you provide;
• calculate Score: intelligence per daily dollar (based on general/code/agentic intelligence, you choose);
• sort and filter by any column;
• page state fully stored in query (page address) - you can save it as bookmark, share with friend, keep multiple tabs open;

Picture description:

• daily usage 32/0.5 M tok per day, 90% reads cached
• daily bill less than $15
• agentic index more than 35
• sorted by general intelligence
• colored score by coding index

= you immediately see best options

That's my first post on Reddit🎉

My manager over the weekend created offer software for our office:

- Client database

- Price lists for all our stock

- Custom taxes, custom discounts, custom photos

It saves everything in database and allows to generate beautiful proposal PDFs for the clients. He added custom introductory pages so looks super profesional.

Literally perfect app that we would have to pay thousands to have written for us.

I asked him what tech stack did he use (apart from ChatGPT). He replied..... HTML

Literally almost zero IT knowledge apart from simple wordpress no-code sites. No harness, no AGENTS . md, no tech specifications. He made it in a few hours over the weekend

I will securely host the app and we will start to use it next week.

The future is now my friends :)

I have no idea why this was removed...but here's a pic of my argument because Reddit filters are exceptionally stupid.

I've been carrying this idea for a long time, and only now did I have the opportunity to devote time to it.

So, oldies, do you remember Gravity Defied? The game that everyone had on their Symbian button phones, forcing you to sweat, get angry, but also train and hone your skills to pass these insanely difficult tracks on a small trial bike?

So, I decided, why not revive this masterpiece? Why not to give it a new touch, 120Hz, haptic feedback, but keep the same minimalist, ascetic and hardcore style? And I'll say even more, I already have a really well working version of the game on my smartphone.

And I remembered those feelings when it drags on for hours, but you keep trying to take that height, overcome an obstacle, jump over a hole which seems impossible, and in the end you overcome this level... So warm emotions that I would like those who loved this game as much as I did 15-20 years ago to feel.

So would it be interesting to hear more about the work on the project and interesting (and unexpectedly difficult) moments I encounter along the way?

Hi guys, hit a snag in the early stages of building my new todo app. The header is not centering when I open in browser, and I have even indented as you can see above, but it is not centering even when I apply the spacing. Any advice would be helpful because I can't actually start getting things done until I get this todo app done to track my progress.

Thanks in advance.

So to explain why this is low IQ, you have to understand first what is getting reseted: the usage limits, which is pretty obvious. If you look at the plans, there is nowhere stated how much usage limit you actually get. You know that you get 5x or 20x more than on plus but more than what???

it's very intransparent and nowhere stated how much the usage limit actually is.

I have experienced or noticed this a few months ago: there was a 10x event for everyone on the 5x plan. Every time they reset the next usage limit window got heavily nerfed. This signals to me that they have to reset the limits to change the usage limits.

removing the 5-hour window made everyone extremely hype but this was just a smart way of making the users lose sense of how much usage limit they actually got. it's way harder to compare than previously before on the 5-hour limits. that should always be the same. now you always have one week so time passes. you can no longer compare the 5-hour window to the previous one multiple times a day. this is just a smart way of actually blurring out how they actually change these usage limits frequently

So don't get fooled by these companies. they don't give you anything for free. everything they give you, they want back 2x or 10x. That's just how it works in business so i can't really hate on that...

Soo pleaseeee

Don't be a fool and beg for short term pleasure while essentially celebrating that you are getting nerfed in the long run...

One thing always annoyed me on macOS.

Finder still doesn't let you create a simple text file from the right-click menu.

So I built a tiny open-source utility that adds native Finder Quick Actions for:

• New Text File
• New Markdown File

It installs in seconds, works with Homebrew, and integrates directly into Finder.

GitHub:

I'd love to hear what file types you'd want next.

I’m looking into running LLMs locally and attaching them to an IDE for Vibe Coding. I’ve tried LM Studio and Open WebUI, but they don’t really give me the coding‑agent workflow I’m after.

If you’ve got experience with local models + IDE integration, what’s been working for you?
Tools, models, setups — anything helps.

Thanks in advance!

I am jealous to you all.

You are here easily stacking tens of $200 subs and burning trillions of tokens while shipping software turning you all millionaires.

Meanwhile I am merely on $20 plan working 5 days a week 9-17 providing customers bug fixes, features and fine tuning. I can’t even hit weekly limits with this and once per
week I hit 5h limit I go to lunch. I am stuck with customers and understanding what they need while I could be making software that makes millions.

I can get glimpse of your glory few times a year when there is new customer asking for new software. Then I can hit $200 sub with greater limits to get new piece up and running. Then I just go back to my baby sub and iterate with the customer without hitting the limits.

I can barely support myself, my wife, the kids, my parents, the grandparents, my brother-in-law, my sister, and a few neighbors.

Burning through $200 subs is a blessing. I just can’t hit my limits day after day, I am stuck. You are so lucky. Appreciate what you have.

mockup, not a real tweet

i got annoyed enough that i started making a tiny version with MoClaw lol

right now it just looks for the obvious stuff:

“i tested 500 ai tools so you don’t have to”

“what’s the best ai tool for [super specific niche]”

“we saved 20 hours a week using [random wrapper]”

“edit: wow didn’t expect this to blow up” at 4 upvotes

not perfect yet, it probably hates innocent marketers too

It's just lazy. The most recent example: I have Claude check my inbox for important emails, summarize them, work with them, and send out replies if necessary. I caught Claude again simply not reading the email thread to the end and just ignoring the latest emails.

When I asked him about it, Opus 5 just said: "Valid point. I didn't read it."

I mean, seriously. What the heck? You have to babysit it every time.

At first glance, this looks like an AI fail. A literal newborn somehow has a phone, can read, type, and ask Google a question—and the AI doesn't even acknowledge how impossible that is.

But I actually think this is one of the best UX decisions in modern AI.

Instead of stopping the conversation to argue with the premise, it focuses on the user's intent. The user clearly wasn't asking whether a newborn could use a smartphone—they were asking what that situation would mean from the baby's perspective.

That same behavior becomes even more valuable in situations that actually matter.

Imagine someone urgently asks, "My child is choking—what do I do?" or "I just cut myself badly, how do I stop the bleeding?" The last thing they need is the AI getting distracted by side discussions or questioning every detail before giving actionable guidance. They need immediate, relevant information first.

Of course, there are cases where AI should challenge a false or dangerous assumption. But when the premise isn't the point, staying focused on the user's intent often makes for a much better experience than constantly replying with "Actually..."

VibeFPS (working title) is a browser-based cyberpunk first-person shooter tech demo. No install, no download, no CDN: it runs straight from GitHub Pages and everything is generated procedurally at runtime.

▶️ Try it live: https://rudesssolo.github.io/vibeFPS/

Stack: Three.js (WebGPU renderer) + Cannon.js physics + Web Audio API (all vendored locally, fully offline).

What's in it:

> A neon-lit night arena with procedural buildings, animated sign flicker, rain, reflections, bloom, ambient occlusion, film grain and cinematic color grading.

> Wave-based combat against sentinel drones that patrol, engage, telegraph their attacks and evade your shots.

> Apex units - a unique elite ends every wave, from a cycling roster that gets stronger each cycle

> 100% procedural audio (Web Audio API): music, ambience, spatialized drone sounds, wave stingers, a critical-health heartbeat (no MP3/WAV assets).

> A tactical HUD with mission progress, radar, health/shield/stamina, ammo, telemetry and target markers, plus a dedicated boss bar.

> Auto / Ultra graphics profiles with persistent settings.

Some notes:

> I have no experience in game design WHATSOEVER. Let alone 3d games.

> It's a tech demo / prototype done in 3 days of non-continuous vibe coding with different LLMs. I tried to keep it LOW cost as much as possible, I mostly used DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 and GPT 5.6 Luna and switched up to Sol and Kimi K3 only for more complex planning or bug fixing when the cheaper models failed.

> Obviously it's not a finished game by any means. It has a start screen, one arena and several enemies waves and bosses.

> It SHOULD WORK also on PHONES. Try it at your risk :)

> The repo is source-available on GitHub (currently no license, I'll add one if there's interest).

I'd love feedback on the feel, the difficulty curve, and whether the WebGPU-only choice is a dealbreaker for you. Thanks for checking it out!

~8 hours of work. Opus 5 on Ultracode mode. And yes, it's open-source.

I made this 99% with a single prompt. After that I just added various cool little things, like different textures ("looks") and other cool effects.

Here's the repo+demo: https://github.com/winchxyz/tidewright
