Vibe Coding Tools: I Built the Same App 4 Times… Here’s What Happened | S2 E8

What happens when you try to build the same app using four different AI tools?

In this episode of Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks, I set out to explore something called vibe coding… where you don’t write traditional code, you guide AI to build something for you.

The idea was simple:

Build a fun web app for kids called Backyard Coding Adventures that generates outdoor coding challenges based on age.

What happened next surprised me.

I tested:

• Base44 (free tier)
• Google AI (Gemini Pro)
• Replit (developer-style environment)
• Bolt (fast, but… interesting results)

Along the way, I ran into:

• token limits (and what that actually means)
• differences in speed vs quality
• the tension between creativity and control
• and even a bit of anxiety as my “developer mindset” kicked in

This episode isn’t just about tools.

It’s about a shift in how we build.
