    How to Vibe Code

Vibe coding lets you focus on the big picture and product vision while letting large language models (LLMs) handle the nitty-gritty details, melting away traditional coding hurdles. Shashank walks through his weekend project, Convo (convochat.io), an AI-powered app that analyzes exported chat backups from WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, or SMS. It delivers fun stats (like 11,000 messages sent to a friend over four years), conversation summaries, sentiment analysis, and even tips for better chats—all built with minimal manual coding. The duo shares practical tips for vibe coding success: brainstorming ideas with Claude, designing UIs in Stitch, building with tools like Cursor or Replit, using Git for checkpoints, picking popular frameworks (e.g., Tailwind CSS), writing tests, debugging with logs, optimizing SEO, and branding with AI-generated logos. They discuss pros (rapid prototyping, low costs—Shashank spent just $18), cons (scaling challenges, bug fixes), and best practices for beginners, including modularity, documentation, and refactoring. Whether you're a seasoned dev or a total newbie, this episode shows how AI tools can turn ideas into launched MVPs in days, not months. Tune in for inspiration, real-world examples, and motivation to vibe code your next project!

    Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GenerativeAIMeetup Mark's Travel Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@kumajourney11 Mark's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@markkuczmarski896 Gen AI Meetup: https://genaimeetup.com/ Shashank Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shashu10/  Mark Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkuczmarski/  Join hosts Shashank and Mark in this electrifying episode of the Gen.ai Meetup Podcast, where they unpack a whirlwind week of AI advancements reshaping the future of technology. From Anthropic's Claude 4.1—a subtle yet powerful upgrade boosting coding prowess and multi-file edits for enterprise dominance—to OpenAI's long-awaited open-source comeback with GPT-OSS models (a beefy 120B parameter beast and a tiny laptop-friendly version rivaling proprietary giants), the duo dives into benchmarks, real-world applications, and how tools like Ollama make deployment a breeze. They explore Gemini’s DeepThink, a reasoning powerhouse solving Olympiad-level math puzzles through extended inference, and Google’s groundbreaking “world model”—a seamless blend of video generation and game engine tech that lets you control characters in hyper-realistic, physics-aware simulations. Along the way, Shashank and Mark share candid insights on vibe coding pitfalls, side projects built with AI agents, OpenAI’s staggering valuations, and the open-source ecosystem’s role in driving innovation. Whether you’re a developer wrestling with agentic workflows, an enterprise leader eyeing LLM integrations, or an AI enthusiast dreaming of interactive worlds, this episode delivers expert analysis, practical tips, and forward-thinking speculation. Tune in for a fun, far-flung chat (Mark’s broadcasting from a Canadian road trip en route to the Arctic!) and discover why AI’s evolution is accelerating faster than ever. Drop your questions in the comments—we’ll tackle them next time!
