Vibe coding is a rush

Hey Gemini, make me an app

I dubbed this phase my “Claude Code psychosis,” though some argue “mania” is the better term. It’s addictive to express a vision and see it instantly appear, getting into the build/test/iterate loop at an electrifying rate. There’s an apt joke that Claude Code is GPT-4o for nerds: it reflects your desires and makes them real, providing the rush of creation with minimal sweat.

I know this exact feeling. When I started working on my “Deal Bot” that found sales on Amazon and automatically published them, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. If I added a new feature, I pondered what was next. Once I found a bug, I turned into an exterminator trying to find more bugs.

I was constantly interacting with Gemini either at my desk or on my phone, feeding it ideas, problems and asking it for input that we’d later turn into code. I say we like Gemini was my co-worker.

It’s a rush to see an idea come to life.

My experience vibe coding with Gemini is a big reason why I want to release an app this year. I have a few ideas I’ve been talking to Gemini about. We’ll see what comes of it.
