<p>Here’s a fun steelman for the post being true: the author intentionally prompted an LLM to write the post in order to further anonymize themselves from their company.</p>

<p>I thought I would share this just because I found it interesting:<p><a href="https://www.pangram.com/history/a22e7372-5970-4537-b511-0416907dc41e/?ucc=U6WpTFqvPbR" rel="nofollow">https://www.pangram.com/history/a22e7372-5970-4537-b511-0416...</a><p>Pangram is an interesting company and, to me, seems to be SOTA in AI detection. This came back as “Fully AI Generated.”<p>It has been interesting to read about the methodology. Still not sure how I feel about it!<p>Either way, as other comments have suggested, important to take things with a grain of salt as always.</p>

<p>I’m using the peloton only. I bought a little iPad/phone mount that I put on the handlebars. I run the app on my iPad, put the peloton in “just ride” mode (no subscription needed) and match the cadence/resistance with the web app.<p>When it comes to cycling I’m a complete novice which is why the workouts have resistance as % of total (what peloton does) and I recently added an option where you can switch to relevant effort in settings.<p>I appreciate this comment because I didn't know what people typically did for creating their own workouts and recently learned about FTP. I'm going to look into this!<p>There are several interesting projects around peloton hacking that have served as inspiration:<p>- [0] Peloton android app side loader: <a href="https://github.com/doudar/Openpelo" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/doudar/Openpelo</a><p>- [1] Overlays metrics on the Peloton: <a href="https://github.com/selalipop/grupetto" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/selalipop/grupetto</a><p>- [2] Bookmarklet to overlay cadence/resistance on web classes (this is what I started with): <a href="https://gist.github.com/rocng/2ff577948569ce0764b8938687841bbe" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/rocng/2ff577948569ce0764b8938687841b...</a><p>- [3] Decodes Peloton metrics from the serial port: <a href="https://github.com/ihaque/pelomon" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ihaque/pelomon</a><p>- [4] Transform Peloton into a smart trainer: <a href="https://github.com/doudar/SmartSpin2k/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/doudar/SmartSpin2k/</a><p>These can be used in combination to use your Peloton with Zwift. Groupetto and Pelomon are really interesting. I'd like to integrate with something like Groupetto and use OpenPelo to have the full experience on the Peloton itself. That's kind of the end game, but I think the web app is the most approachable and easiest to get started with -- at least for me.</p>

<p>I use Claude Code on the mobile app, it creates a PR, I click the link which takes me to the GitHub mobile app, I turn my phone landscape and scroll through the code. I give feedback in the Claude mobile app if needed and it pushes additional commits.<p>I try to keep my instructions pretty targeted so there aren’t too many LOC and files changed. That’s the goal at least.<p>I deploy on Vercel, so I get a preview build link I can click in the PR and try the site before I merge to main (trunk based). I use Supabase so if there is a DB migration I just run it in the Supabase console by copy pasting the SQL.<p>When I merge the PR it deploys to prod. This works pretty well for me.</p>

<p>If by production you mean “done” and used by someone (i.e. by me) then I made <a href="https://skidmarks.club" rel="nofollow">https://skidmarks.club</a> to replace my peloton subscription. You can browse and ride at <a href="https://app.skidmarks.club" rel="nofollow">https://app.skidmarks.club</a>.<p>I’ve done ~10 rides with it so far. Hoping I can convince my wife to use it and save myself $50 a month. That would be my most successful side project by a wide margin.<p>There are probably a lot of examples like this. Vibe coded software people made for themselves, and other people could use it if they wanted.<p>All of the code was reviewed by myself, and I’m a programmer, so not sure if that fits the description. I didn’t go through it with a fine-toothed comb, however, and 90% of the review was on my phone. I also did some non-vibed setup for hosting, db, email, etcetera.<p>To me vibe coding is not looking at any of the code at all, but the definition reads a little loose to me these days, especially on HN, as: did an LLM “type” most of the code or did you? Either way I don’t think the term or definition is a big deal and probably not worth splitting hairs over.</p>

<p>I recently learned about Cookiecutter [0] which looks a lot like something the company I work for has made in house. I imagine many companies have either built or use tools to generate projects according to their best practices and common patterns.<p>I want the project generator I use to be able to create common patterns after the project has been created, similar to the rails cli where you can do things like `rails g controller` to create a new controller.<p>Have you used project generators like this that were either built in house, bought, or open source? Ideally something where you can create your own patterns. I mainly work on Spring Boot APIs and I recently learned about IntelliJ's Live Templates [1] which might be my 80% solution that I can just build out myself.<p>It would be cool if I could do things like add a new controller, endpoint, repository from a model, Postgres datasource configuration, DynamoDB datasource configuration, etcetera.<p>[0] https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io
