The vibe
Momentum over perfectionism
❌ Not what this is
• Gatekeeping what counts as “real” code
• Shaming AI-assisted work
• Expecting polished, production-ready projects
• Discouraging beginners or basic questions
• Rigid rules and checklists
✅ What this is
• A low-pressure space to share what you’re building
• AI coding fully welcome — encouraged, even
• Half-finished projects and first attempts count
• Beginners get the same respect as veterans
• Curiosity and experimentation over perfectionism
