Hi yall I have 0 technical background and about 6-7 months of experience in the AI and automation space. I have just been getting into vibe coding. Simple landing pages and the groundworks for an app using lovable. Any advice on how to further my skill? What does a developer look at when first planning out an App? Is there a framework to work off of?

Hey team! Firebase Studio just dropped and it’s a game changer. 🎉 In my newest video, I walk you through how Firebase Studio lets you prompt your way into building full-stack AI apps seriously, it's that easy. Along the way, we end up building a slick AI-powered todo app using Gemini AI that auto-ranks your tasks by difficulty... but the real star here? 🔥 The 9 insane agent driven development features inside Firebase Studio that make all this magic possible. Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll see: - 🧠 AI-driven prototyping that turns prompts into working code - 🎨 A visual editor that makes building actually fun - ⚡ Instant previews so you can test before you commit - 🔌 Seamless Firebase integrations that save you time 🚀 Whether you’re just getting started or scaling something big, Firebase Studio is setting a new bar for AI dev tools and it’s 100% free. 🎥 Watch the full breakdown here: https://youtu.be/-A3QkftCCPw Would love to hear what you build with it! Drop any questions you have down below. Cheers, Brandon 🧑‍💻🥂

Hi, I have a NextJS app I am building (as some of you recall) and I have data in a postgreSQL DB. I want to do some analysis on this data to build a report for the user. I'm wondering if I should use the OpenAI API's ability to call functions on in my app or should I look into setting up an MCP server? Any thoughts on which path I should start going down? I essentially want the AI to look at all the data and make recommendations back to the user. Thanks.
