Most people vibe code something and give up as soon as it starts breaking.

The thing is... how you vibe code from 0→1 is very different from how you evolve an app.

In order to evolve a vibe-coded app, you need to prompt like a rockstar developer.

A Codex subagent for Claude Code to get a second opinion and review code

Kudos to @Spotify for surfacing so many upcoming artists in their discover weekly.

10K monthly listeners is pretty obscure.

It's way harder doing this well, than just surfacing the "safe" bet popular artists that most people like

Anthropic prompt caching reduced BrainGrid AI costs by 70% and ↓ end-user latency.

The pattern:
• Mark static context with `cacheControl: { type: 'ephemeral' }`
• Cache docs/prompts/tools separately (different TTLs)
• Track cache hit rate per conversation

12-35% hit rate saved thousands monthly

Consolidating @stripe types:

Before → StripeSubscriptionStatus was defined in 3 places:
• Prisma schema
• Service types
• Webhook handler

Now → One import. TypeScript catches errors at compile time. Zero webhook failures since.

We use both UUIDs with human-readable IDs across @braingridai

Before: "Can you check 8f3a2b1c-..."
After: "REQ-123 needs attention"

Pattern:
• Org-scoped auto-increment sequences
• Formatted with prefix (REQ-, REPO-, GITHUB-)
• Unique per organization

Collaboration and tickets became 10x easier

When working the coding agents I find that getting the terminology right is SO important.

It's worth asking, even to explore if there is a term for that.

Neat quality of life improvement for BrainGrid: Requirement Mentions.

Use the `@` syntax to reference specific requirements, bringing another requirement into context

BrainGrid not only helps you track and spec work, but also, gives you AI- recommendations on what to build next so you can ship the software product of your dreams.

It's remarkable how well @Shopify has solved the "Independent Online Storefront" problem, that you DON'T see ecommerce as one of the top vibe coding use cases.

Schedule async of drip emails at @braingridai without managing any queue infrastructure.

@upstash Workflows = serverless cron + step functions:
• Schedule cron jobs (every Monday 6am PST)
• Trigger per-user workflows in parallel
• Auto-retry on failure

All in Next.js. No separate services.

New cool feature ✨AI Implementation plan review✨

Upon request, the BrainGrid agent now takes a second look at the tasks and makes sure:

✔︎ Tasks fully cover the requirement
✔︎ Tasks are complete and ready to be implemented
✔︎ Implementation is architecturally sound.

Retries for Anthropic's API overload_error we get often. 👇🏼

Instead of failing, we built exponential backoff with jitter:
• Retry up to 10 times (250ms → 38s delays)
• Backoff factor: 1.5x per attempt
• Event tracking for monitoring

Result: 85%+ overloads recover automatically. Users barely notice.

Not every requirement is ready to build immediately. A lot of the frustration with AI coding comes from taking messy thoughts to the coding agent.

That's why we're introducing 💡Ideas - a way to explore and brainstorm before building.

When you're AI coding, you don't know what you don't know.

You can't specify details you don't know exist.

Even experienced devs miss things ALL THE TIME.

Love using @upstash Workflows for all async operations in @BrainGridAI.

Instead of managing queues + workers, we write workflows like functions:
• Type-safe triggers via WorkflowService
• Auto-retries with exponential backoff
• Built-in step persistence

Zero infra management. Just deploy Next.js.

One of the hardest things about AI coding is knowing if the code that was just written does what you need it to do.

Code reviews are good and necessary, but they don't tell you if the code does what you *intended*.
