Dropped a new one for you all. Mike from Urban Pulse let me share footage from his security audit. He vibe coded his whole platform using my routing architecture, then hired me and my team to read every line before he opened it up to high ticket clients. We took our time over many hours. We found three holes that I share here. A Google Maps API key that had already been flagged and locked down by Google. A second cryptographic auth layer the AI built on top of Supabase, which already handles all of this for you. A JWT verification step that never checked the issuer, meaning any valid Supabase token from any project on the internet would have passed. This is what real building and shipping looks like in the AI world. Mike built something that used to take a year and a couple hundred grand. He did it solo. Then he paid engineers to audit it before any customer touched it. Copy his move. If you are vibe coding anything you plan to put in front of paying clients, watch this one.

I relied on a recent post (which turns out to be from Reddit) about the "free tier" of LLM and found some discrepancies, notably there has not been a "data sharing credit" from xAI for almost a year now. So I asked Grok to dig deeper and verify answers for a better landscape, results are here: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk_f65155a2-6bdd-4e69-b51f-a7242b000ad0 I think this answer is more helpful, especially since a lot of free tokens is not helpful if the rates are not good. I also found a VS Code extension called Cline (thanks again Grok) that so far has been a bit clunky (it hung up on me once and I had to restart it), but it connects to a lot of these "free" options and replaces some of my need for Open WebUI also. You cannot understate the usefulness of VS Code if you are using LLM to build a product, as opposed to building an LLM-powered product. Finally, let me say in the gentlest possible way that a lot of people are relying on each other here for up-to-date, complete, and accurate answers. Let's reinforce that.

Since i started using claude code, i started using the CLI more. It made me understand Bash and what is needed and be done under the hood of my MacOS. Does it make me feel super cool and nerdy too, uuuuuuh, yea 🤓. [insert steve urkel laugh] I dont understand everything claude does or ask permission for but i am learning to read and watch more as my ideas get built and my .md file directions get executed on. I started doing the same with Codex. Google CLI for gemini came out a while back and now Notion came out with their CLI. I want to go deeper into this to see the effiecency and use case for myself and my path for working and building. Are you using your OS CLI? these other CLIs for other tools and services? are you back to claude code desktop? I want to hear if you started using it, been using it and Why? What are your Pros and Cons? ill go first....

Has anyone built a custom user interface on top of GoHighLevel where the dashboard and user experience are completely unique to their product, but GoHighLevel is still powering everything underneath the hood? I’ve been exploring the idea of vibe-coding a custom dashboard with a different look and feel so it doesn’t resemble the standard GoHighLevel experience. GHL has become incredibly powerful, but because it’s also becoming much more widely used, I’m interested in effectively “reskinning” it so the frontend feels like a proprietary platform rather than an obvious GHL implementation. Has anyone done this successfully? If so, what architecture or approach did you use? Custom frontend + APIs? Embedded widgets? White-label SaaS mode with heavy customization? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hopefully this is helpful for those overwhelmed not knowing where to start. There's a fair amount of posts from inexperienced non-tech folks asking where to start and you can quickly see the motivation is money and ease. Essentially: What are ya'll doing and whats the easiest/quickest way for me to get there with the least amount of work and make the most amount of money? Don't get me wrong, I'm a business owner, I get it you don't want to waste time on unprofitable ventures. My unsolicited $0.02. Don't try to shortcut or hack the process. If you're just getting started with 0 tech knowledge and experience, stop asking what's most profitable with least effort and just start building something you'd find useful. Keep your day job, build on the side. I like the way @David Vogel puts it as "garage tinkering". I genuinely look this tech stuff the same way when I started "garage tinkering" with woodworking tools. I didn't go in my garage and think hmm what can I build that has the best profit margins? I just starting building things I had a need for and thought were useful and that's where the learning happened. I guess what I'm getting at is if you're struggling where to start: 1. Watch, read, learn 2. Get your hands dirty and apply 3. Repeat Happy building!
