Will you help me finish or promote my vibe-coded tool?

No

Hey, it's Adam here. All of these Battle Axe tools were born out of me personally enjoying the process of helping other motion designers online with workflow challenges. I have enjoyed writing code snippets and sharing my opinion, but because of the increase in requests for help with AI generated code, I have to set boundaries around what I can and cannot help with. Apologies in advance for potentially diminishing something you may have spent a lot of time working on. I just cannot help you with it.

LLMs are a really remarkable technology. They can help you quickly prototype an idea, improve personal workflows unavailable in existing software, or help you learn and internalize software development concepts with code examples.

Everyone's journey into code starts with solving their own problems and learning along the way. By hacking at a bunch of problems, you learn to think systematically and recognize patterns in how you, your team, or a client works. This helps you get better at using code to solve workflow problems. This process is a slow and annoying, but it's worth doing because you learn how to think and develop your own voice as someone who thinks in systems (that's what software development is).

We believe that a customer is not buying your code, but are instead purchasing the freedom to outsource the understanding of the problem to the developer. To shortcut your own understanding of a problem and it's solution is to cheat yourself and your customer. Whether the vibe code hallucinates and leaks customer data or works without issue is not the point.

An LLM or agent can generate a lot of code quickly. Often faster than a human can type. But in the same way that more words does not make a book more enjoyable to read, code that is produced faster does not equate to more sustainable and efficient code. Vibing a personal workflow probably doesn't not need to be the most optimized code, but commercial software should be. We believe that deterministic code written by experienced developers is more efficient and sustainable.

We think that prompting your way to a commercial product is not how you develop a deep knowledge of a system. And honestly, if you could not be bothered to invest the time into learning how your code works, why should a potential customer invest their attention or money into you?

Learning to manage a product you plan to sell is important. And because of the slot-machine nature of AI generated code, we are unable to assist with development or promotion.
