<p>I wanted to try the vibe-coding thing everyone was talking about lately and got Cursor to help me build a simple directory.<p>It was not all smooth sailing. I wanted to use Svelte & Pocketbase first, but just could not get it to work with my preferred hosting provider, Cloudflare. The AI was lost on how to fix the numerous config issues, and so was I. Besides, the experiment was to just have AI do and debugs things.<p>So I switched to Astro & Supabase instead, figuring it was a more established stack that the AI would have more training on.<p>Good move. Got everything up and running in pretty much half a day!<p>All the code is 100% AI generated. The only thing I did was open files and type prompts. The only bits I manually did was some light config setup for Supabase and Cloudflare.<p>I want to see how far I can go into feature dev work without getting my own hands dirty with code, but just dictating my wishes to my trusty AI coder.</p>

<p>Warren Buffett discussed this in his 2007 letter to shareholders
Buffett says that "90% of your job as a director is having the right CEO."<p>"There is a natural tendency for people with big egos and big motors who get to be CEOs who like to do big things and to become bigger spending other people's money. Normally, when big deals come along [for approval] management has already made the deal anyway, they have investment bankers there that will go through a little ritual - I've never seen one come in and do a presentation which says it's a dumb idea! They know what the answer is supposed to be, and it becomes a little game."</p>
