Underrated tech skill:
Knowing when to stop “optimizing” and just ship the thing.

Perfection has delayed more careers than failure ever did.

NY's new AI pricing law is missing something crucial

✅ What it does: Forces disclosure of algorithmic pricing
❌ What it doesn't: Actually stop the practice

Result? Companies can still charge you more - they just have to admit it.

Vibecoding tip: Don't just accept what the AI agent suggests. Ask "Why did you choose this approach?" and "Is there a simpler way?" You'll learn faster and get better results.

The AI agent will suggest fancy UI designs with animations and complex layouts. Resist. Simple, clean interfaces are easier to debug, faster to build, and actually get finished.

Vibecoding isn't about becoming a software engineer. It's about building the tools you need to do your actual work. The more you do it, the better you get at translating intent into working code.

When the AI agent does something right, tell it. When it makes assumptions, correct the pattern—not just the mistake. It retains this context and works better with you over time.

Ask for robust error handling upfront. Don't wait for things to break. "Include detailed error logging and catch errors gracefully" in your initial prompt saves hours of debugging later.

Manage Base44 credits strategically: use the UI editor for static changes, only use the agent for logic and complex features. Batch related changes into single requests when possible.

Specify your tech stack in the initial prompt or @base44 will choose for you. "Build this as a single-page React app with Tailwind" prevents architectural choices you'll regret later.

Real talk: Base44 is great for low-complexity apps like calculators, dashboards, internal tools. It struggles with email to external users and payment integrations. Know the constraints before you start.
