Ask HN: What would you recommend a vibe coder learn about how all this works?

alexdobrenko — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 21:38:59 +0000

I'm a writer who started building with AI coding tools about 8 months ago. No programming background. It's been one of the most fun things I've ever done.

I want to understand more about what's actually happening. What are the big concepts that, once you get them, make everything click in a more interesting way? The stuff that made you go "oh, THAT'S what's going on."

Where do you recommend one starts with his writing?

And who else do you love to read?

yes except all of this stuff...fundementally sucks, right? its why influencers generally don't become actors. there's very little depth to it. Versus for example Hank and John Green who sure, they have good hooks, but they also have depth?

idk can't tell if this is me hoping or coping

New comment by alexdobrenko in "Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work"

I've been using Claude Code in my terminal like a feral animal for months. Building weird stuff. Breaking things. Figuring it out as I go.

Cowork is the nice version. The "here's a safe folder for Claude to play in" version. Which is great! Genuinely. More people should try this.

But!!! The terminal lets you do more. It always will. That's just how it works.

And when Cowork catches up, you'll want to go further. The gap doesn't close. It just moves.

All of this, though, is good? I think??
