I've been building AI-powered apps for a long time, and in yesterday’s video I said that everyone should learn how to do this. But a lot of people replied saying they didn’t even know where to start. So this video — yes, it’s long, be warned — is a crash course on how I use AI to code. The focus is on planning, understanding what you’re doing, and learning the fundamentals: what a front end, back end, API, and database are, and how they fit together. Once you understand that, you can start defining what you’re building, identifying the features and functions, and then using markdown to plan your project step-by-step.

LandynThis is exactly my process as well! Except I use Claude Code within the VS Code terminal and now the Claude Code plugin. I'm a business owner who has built websites, and have a homelab but like you, am not a coder but understand the basics.
D1NGOI tend to read on what Modules and Components work. Reaserch what Software is good for my use case. vibecode isent as simple if you dont Reaserch first. and as a Self thought programmer i have don reaserch on so many Software types. but with that in my head. I managed to Build Indistrial Grade Security and Networking scanners. and alot of Homelab tools. if I hadent done this reaserch. I would have A problem when trying Ai
LeonI made chat gpt make a proxy for my raspberry pi so when someone joins my Minecraft server, it auto starts up. Also made it so it sends discord notifs using a bot that updates the status of my and the mc server (on or off). Very fun project!

Nov 24, 2025That's awesome.
Chang NoiI know that you said that you're not giving incredibly detailed information or extensive tutorial here but what you've said in this video is critical. It's critical and I think it comes from your baseline of overseeing projects. I believe that you said that. My advice to anyone working with AI and expecting outcomes is to create several documents that are frameworks and protocols of the languages and the environments you're going to be building. Store those are markdowns and make sure that you're not only tell the AI to use best practices, but have those documents as referenced guidelines that they should always check and verify, and within those documents are also going to be procedural aspects of identify qualify, verify then execute to move forward identify an issue you verify that's the source of the issue and have it provide you with the logic and then verify that's the issue by some sort of minimal test before implementation. I've always found a huge roadblock with ChatGPT in the past at a certain level once a prototype product wants to move to a more complex level. So the more guidance you can give and framework and procedural old checks the father you'll get. And it's much slower but it's required to get the outcome you need. Recently, I've extended the phase 2, and phase 3 items when I need to start working with authentications and really start moving the stage of database connect activities and managing a multi user domain, two Gemini three and I tried it the last several days and it's been pretty impressive pretty.. the big problem is many times you ask yourself do I just let this thing go and I really don't care about what's happening under the hood and will keep driving through the prompts until we get it fixed, or do I really want to create something that's gonna have very specific methodologies and service requirements and resource requirements. And so for me many times I'm using these in learning modules and without having a a rigid rigid plan and build outline things can go off the rails really quick

pahkyoooFantastic video! Would love some tips to reduce token burn. I’ve been using codex but am hitting limits so quickly that it’s halting development (GPTplus)

Nov 1, 2025lol yeah.
BigGreek19I know this request is not the point of the video, but I have been using your quickmap because it's super simple to use but is there a way we could get a dark mode for it? All the white hurts my brain 😂
1
BigGreek19I tried to enable darkreader on it and it fails and says it can't as "page is protected"

Creator
Nov 1, 2025I do have to do some updates to it, so ill add dark mode as well.

Nov 1, 2025haha thanks, I don't have a discord though :(

Nov 1, 2025Im 47 so not far behind you my man. 100% agree, its time to become technically self reliant.

Markbuddy143it is and your tutorials are going to be the. thing that makes it possible for me, so thank you

occulticOwlThank you so much! this has been insanely useful and has given me a perfect baseline to jump off from, and I'm excited to see what I can achieve in my homelab with this

Nov 1, 2025I am too! Let me know what you build :)
Guerrilla GorillaVery interesting! I'd love to see you make a concrete example app! I'm looking forward to the youtube :)

Nov 1, 2025I do plan on doing that, I just need an idea for something and ill build, Something simple enough to finish on a single video

david kernOk I have an idea for a program. Very simple I have an external hdd that I use with jellyfin so it obviously has jellyfin data on it such as the thumbnails. Is there any free program that can copy only the movie/tv shows if I want to share the videos with someone else?
1
Creator
Oct 31, 2025Not sure, do you mean remote sharing the library, rather than sharing access to the account?
david kernI’m talking taking my hdd and my friends hdd plugging them both in my computer and giving them all my movies and shows without giving them all the jellyfin data automated of course. We’ve done it the old fashioned way and just copy everything then going through and deleting the jellyfin stuff that they don’t want.

Creator
Nov 1, 2025I think the only way is to just use two drives in a PC and copy them as you do now, OR all pitch in and get a shared host and add them all there.
Ted Jonesthanks for explaining the process. I'm a maintenance engineer & parts of this process structure, are very similar to how I/we approach an issue on a machine etc. so I can relate to the process. my biggest downfall, is trusting and knowing what to ask the AI assistant, to generate the code etc. which ones would you recommend, a complete novice to start with?
1
Creator
Oct 31, 2025There is a bot of trust in the process yeah, I think I'll do a YT video, where I build start to finish something to show it working maybe?

Ted Jonesthat would be so helpful & thanks 👍🍺 you'd defo get a follow from me.

rose(✿^‿^)🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈yup I love vscode, I've not tried openai codex I'll look into it thanks . I typically use Gemini 2.5 pro (because I pay for it) . but lately I've been using Claude alot, it's recent release is soooo good, yeah it sometimes has bugs with how it makes its "artifacts" but with correct prompting you can mitigate these issues . I'd use Claude alot more if I could afford it, but I'm looking forward to Gemini 3.0 since I pay for Gemini already, so I'll be able to spend much longer on my lil projects again . I run my laptop with docker and portainer, it has web hosting through CloudFlare and a live and a Wip backend it mainly stores and serves user data . but recently I moved my website and it's 2 main backends to be on CloudFlare workers and CloudFlare web hosting thingy, I still run my laptop so I have a testing environment plus my laptop runs an authentication and serving backend for the page of mine that has access to a camera in my house (one I attached to my 3d printer) . my projects are typically in html, css, js, or phyton projects recently I've been doing a few in "rust" which was initiated by me and my friend trying to create a fractal script, which is when I realised how much faster rust is, I like it, butt the AI tools aren't as good at it yet . . yeah I typically do all my working out in tmp.txt files lol

Oct 31, 2025I started with gpt and I just find it works, it's not optimised to use more tokens I feel, so it does better faster.

messyspikei couldn't watch ALL of it, but maybe clarify what the difference between github copilot and codex is, and also rough preoccupy vs free
1
messyspikeugh. pricing!
1
Creator
Oct 31, 2025Yeah its a big difference thats for sure
Creator
Oct 31, 2025So Copilot and Codex are different in how they operate, Copilot is the developers assistant, whereas Codex is an agent that does the work for you.
JasonAre any local models powerful enough to help with this yet to avoid token limits? I was lucky enough to subscribe to Cursor for a year before their pricing model changed. But I'm concerned about being limited next year.

Oct 31, 2025I'm yet to find one to be honest, waiting on that day, and when I have a devi e powerful enough to run it!

Alysha Stewartjeez this is alot of steps. I use claude. I talk to claude then ask it to write the project file then just use claude code to read that and go. I also try jeep things as modular as possible.

Creator
Oct 31, 2025Yeah, I know but I think the more you plan the better the output.

Motivationerdthe better your foundational prompts are, the better set you'll be with future iterations. they're AI but you should still treat them like employees in that sense

Nov 1, 2025Totally agree.
hatkyincyou started as I don't know code and started well, then you jump into: do I want JS? you probably lost the crowd that liked the first part. if you don't know code all these names are meaningless and tech choices for none tech... I do call these extensions and AI tools vibe coding and I usually let them make tech choices unless I have something super specific. There is also spec coding which would probably be easier for new people as it asks you all the questions you mentioned probably..
