QUESTION · TUESDAY FOCUS

Where does GitHub fit into this process if I want to put up a website or whatever I'm going to do with vibe coding?

THE PANEL'S ANSWER

GitHub manages versions of code, tracks changes, allows collaboration through pull requests, and is how communities like OBS contribute; legacy communities have strict guidelines about AI-generated code contributions.

Summarised by AI from what the panel said. Watch the moment for the full answer.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

3:26Yeah, you need a way to manage the software that you're creating to manage copies of it, essentially. So each time you update it, you're getting a record of what it was before, what it's going to, who's making changes. It also allows other people to contribute to projects that you're working on. So whether it's private or just public, you can allow people to contribute, create what's called a pull request or PR.

3:52And that allows them to pull down that code, run it, validate that it works, that it's not breaking anything, and then add that to their code base. So it's a great way to create a community, like you just said, and then have people contributing to projects. Things like OBS, that's community contributed. That's on GitHub. that is the method they use to allow that to happen. Many of the like legacy

4:19long-standing communities they don't often allow you to contribute code that is coded with AI so there's a lot of different standards that go with that so you just have to make sure you understand what the repo guidelines are how you have to document and make any comments to make sure you know that if you are contributing something that's AI coded there's definitely a lot of

4:42of push back uh for like legacy software stacks nice very nice good simple explanation and i'm sure we'll be asking everybody who presents tonight uh kind of the next stage and and how it all comes together um i want to dive into some of this uh immediately so i'm going to turn our attention to jackson tomelnado uh tomelnado who is in uh safir in um india coming in far i figured

5:11I'd go with him first because while we've had a pretty stable connection, we're still going to the other side of the planet. Jackson, I know your video signal isn't strong enough to come in tonight, but we've got you on audio. So welcome. It's great to have you here on Office Hours. Good morning. Good evening. Whatever time. Here in Southern California, it's evening.

5:34I think it's a little later toward the other side of the country on the East Coast. But regardless of what time it is, thank you for coming up and joining us. I wanted to give you the pride of place here and to give us an idea of how you got into vibe coding. And you're going to show us a little bit about one of your projects.

5:51And I'm really fascinated by this. So why don't you take it and tell us a little bit about yourself and then about what you're going to show us? Yeah. So basically, I'm from a cybersecurity background. I do code audits, code audit checks, and do software protection and stuff. So I initially wasn't fond of the idea of wipe coding because it creates so many security loopholes.

6:20So it actually slides security loopholes into your working code that other people might be able to exploit. So I didn't initially integrate that into my development pipeline. But in recent days, it's been doing so much help. and if you have proper guidelines, it can actually reduce so much of your time making your apps and stuff. So I actually started implementing it in my hobby, AVN broadcast.

7:00When I come into some conflicts with the existing solutions, I come up with something that I can upgrade and add stuff into it. So this is what I built. I actually built this as an alternative to OBS because OBS has some limitations that that also it's like a huge community and you can't like request a future and get things done like in the next month or something.

from From Prompt to Production: Vibe Coding in the Real World.

The whole episode →
▶ 00:01:38Please explain vibe coding to a beginner. What is needed and the cost?▶ 00:26:41Where can I get the tools for prompting? As that seems to be one of the main keys to get decent results. Are there formal tools that can help people become better prompt constructors?▶ 00:28:50What are the different levels or parts of tools available for vibe coding and agentic AI?▶ 00:32:51I find that generated code often provides a solution, but a review of that code finds issues, and it can require a lot of iterating to resolve all the complaints. Any tips for prompting or rules, as in Claude code, to help reduce the iterations?▶ 00:40:57I want to understand about tokens. When do you need them and how do you use them?▶ 00:48:35When vibe coding gets you 90 percent of the way there but the last 10 percent keeps breaking, how do you diagnose the real problem instead of endlessly prompting?▶ 00:53:20Is there value in having different LLMs review each other's work to solve stubborn problems?▶ 00:57:05Trade shows were often meetings of the same people every year who are often recognized as experts in their field. What happens when everyone can claim to be an expert by way of their AI skills? Will there be loyal clients in the age of vibe coding?▶ 00:59:20Will local models, for example run on new powerhouse Mac minis, eliminate external token usage?▶ 01:02:13What current frustrations with AI are you hoping are resolved soon?
