AI coding

Writing copy that feels like conversation instead of marketing. How to sound like yourself.

Chapters

  1. Article2 min

    Architecture first

    Decide the structure and build reusable components before screens, because AI generates volume quickly and volume on a bad structure is rework.

  2. Article1 min

    Ask, plan, execute

    Move through three modes with the AI: ask to load context, plan the change together, then let it execute once the plan is right.

  3. Article1 min

    Build local before the cloud

    Build and test the whole app locally before touching cloud infrastructure, which keeps the loop fast while the idea is still unproven.

  4. Article2 min

    Build the share in

    When building is cheap, distribution is the scarce thing, so design sharing and referral into the product from the first version.

  5. Article2 min

    Choose a stack you won't fight

    Decide web or mobile first, since that cascades through the toolchain, then pick a stack the AI knows well and you will not have to fight.

  6. Article1 min

    Clean code rules the AI obeys

    Give the AI written rules on file size, dead code and consistency, because left alone it produces working code that becomes unmaintainable.

  7. Article1 min

    Debug by isolating the failure

    Shrink every bug to the smallest failing piece and give the AI that precise case, since isolating the failure is what makes fixes fast.

  8. Article2 min

    Ground the AI before you build

    A short file stating your platform, stack and constraints, loaded into every new chat, stops the AI from guessing wrong about your project.

  9. Article2 min

    Pick an idea worth the months

    With building this fast, the main risk is building the wrong thing well, so test an idea for demand and personal fit before any code.

  10. Article2 min

    Productionise without falling over

    Security review, error monitoring, backups and load checks carry a vibe coded app from working locally to something people can rely on.

  11. Article1 min

    Run agents in parallel

    Several agents working in parallel, each on its own feature and branch, let one person ship like a small team once the basics hold.

  12. Article2 min

    The skill has moved

    Typing code is now cheap, so the skill that counts is judgement: knowing what to build, how to direct the AI and when its output is wrong.

About this playbook

Sales copy written in corporate language pushes people away. Copy written like you are talking to someone across the table makes them listen. This is vibe coding: using your authentic voice in how you describe what you do, on your website, in your emails, in your sales calls. It is not casual to the point of unprofessionalism. It is clear, direct, and honest about what you actually solve. Most growth-stage companies have figured this out. Early-stage founders often have not yet. This section covers how to find your voice, how to audit what you are putting out to see whether it sounds like you, and how to keep the vibe intact as you scale. Start here if your website or emails feel generic or if you have been compared to competitors you do not actually resemble.
