If you’re vibe coding with AI and want to save credits and tokens, try using OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) ... it’s a game changer. And no, you don't have to know how it works, but direct your vibe coding app to do so. I'll add some principles as a text file. Which means: From now on you can direct how if and how the principles should be applied. 🖹 Back then: Scripting Many scripting languages started out like basic procedural languages, so the AI defaults to writing long, repetitive code. That kind of “spaghetti code” is hard to read, debug, and expand. Plus, it wastes precious tokens and credits. 🛸Now: OOP (just a little explanation) OOP means creating objects with properties and methods, like organizing your tools into labeled boxes instead of tossing them all in one drawer. This makes the code: - Way easier to write and debug - Cleaner and more modular for future changes - Reusable, reducing repeated code and thus token usage drastically - Friendlier for collaboration or AI fine-tuning 📌 Note: I’ve been developing professionally for over 20 years, and telling AI to “write using OOP classes and objects” makes the difference between messy scripts and professional-grade code, even in vibe coding. I was looking at code produced by Claude and ChatGPT for JavaScript, and noticed they often took the procedural approach. When writing a fairly big but not complicated browser extension, the code exploded into an insanely large block. ⁉️Ask: That’s when I realized: I had to ask, “Did you use OOP?” 💡Both said: No. Whoops. That’s a huge pitfall. Even if your project is small today, using OOP from the start is like building a solid foundation — it prevents costly rewrites later. Give it a try next time: prompt the AI something like: “Use object-oriented programming with classes and properties.” You’ll see much tighter, more efficient code that saves tokens and headaches.
