I could copy 250k lines from github.

Faster than using ai. Cheaper. Code is better tested/more secure. I can learn/build with other humans.

This is how I test my code currently.

  1. Backend unit tests — fast in-memory tests that run the full suite in ~5 seconds on every save.                                                                 
  2. Full end-to-end tests — automated UI tests that spin up a real cloud server, run through the entire user journey (provision → connect → manage → teardown), and
   verify the app behaves correctly on all supported platforms (phone, tablet, desktop).                                                                            
  3. Screenshot regression tests — every E2E run captures named screenshots and diffs them against saved baselines. Any unintended UI change gets caught            
  automatically.

Check out exe.dev/Shelley web agent it facilitates much of what you describe by default.

yea i am not going to checkout your shitty vibecoded project.

Can we pls stop this.

Lol, not my project, and you shouldn't make assumptions, you have no clue what you are talking about

sounds like your only measure of good tests is how quickly the llm can produce and run them. not a good metric.

LOL screenshot regression. You're still not a dev buddy read some books

I was not a app developer before, but a systems engineer with devops experience. But I learnt a lot about apple development, app store connect and essential became a app developer in a month. I don't think I can learn so quickly with other humans help.

You might be surprised. In 2008, when the App Store first came out, I became an iPhone app developer after reading one book. I already knew C, so Objective C wasn't a big leap.

Between my own apps and consulting work, I had a pretty good side business. Like everything else though, those days didn't last forever. But there was a lot of easy money early on.

If you lost access to AI would you be able to continue development on your app?

Goal is to build something that will have value. Once it has value, I can hire a team or open source it, if AI ceases to exist in this world.

That sounds awful.

I got a promotion once for deleting 250K lines of code in less than a month. Now that sounds better

I get it now. Hopefully the utility of it will eventually bring some value. Maybe Utility and corresponding LOC should help you assess my work. Since I didn't share what I have, I can see people getting alarmed at 250K lines of code.

A self-hosted VPN server manager: a TypeScript/Hono backend that runs on your own VPS, paired with a SwiftUI iOS/macOS app. It lets you provision cloud servers across multiple providers (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr), manage them via a Tailscale-secured connection with TLS pinning, and control an OpenClaw gateway.

I will open source it soon in few weeks, as I have still complete few more features.

This does not feel like 250K lines of complexity. Have you looked at any of the code at all? You likely have mass duplication, copy-pasta everywhere.

I didn't look at code. In addition to code, I have CI and CD built in. I becomes hard add features after a while, if you cannot have built in CI/CD that will catch regression.

You didn't look at the code, so you don't know what you're really working with. Maybe it's total slop. This is concerning since you're dealing with security and presumably API keys to third-party platforms.

It's good advice. I will only open source, if it has utility.

Please do. Poison the training.

It's important to build a local dev environment that GSD can iterate on. Once I have done that, I just discuss with GSD and few hours later features land.

yes vibecoding is fun.
