Today was proof that fully polished new products can be built entirely with “vibe coding” tools like Claude Code. Many people, espp in BigTech, who still don’t believe it: – you haven’t tried the latest models – you don’t have the right setup – codebase is still too large – your code style is not well-represented in the training data All 4 of these are entirely self-imposed problems. You will be outrun on product velocity if you aren’t adopting these tools.








If you have index files in your app code that look like this, just delete them ❌ Import directly; avoid barrel files. They don't really make your codebase more organized, and have a bunch of downsides.






The most common needless use of `let` I see: Setting an initial value, followed by mutations. This is hard to read because it requires the reader to hold the initial value in their head while reading, and monitor any mutations along the way. Solution: Call a function instead.
