Old Geezer that likes to get shit done
Hi, I'm a retired university lecturer & old codger programmer many years ago but I still have a personality (apologies to all the software engineers out there). Having time on my hands I started to get interested in AI in 2025 & late last year hit on an idea for a music-related app which started me down the rabbit hole of vibe coding. Too old & not interested in learning modern language coding so at the mercy of runaway, fickle AI model for coding. When the app was about 80% finished I started to find the AI slop in it when I went to make changes & realised that Ai coding were mostly fur coat & no drawers - looks good on the outside but don't delve too deep. So I started to try to put some manners on the AI models & like it says in GSD intro - most coding frameworks are for teams, corporate enterprise approaches which, as a solo enterprise, is just more work & complexity than necessary so I started to try to put some AI guardrails of my own. And then I came across GSD a while ago but as I'm a cheapskate & not a Claude user, I ignored it. But recently saw that a version for Opencode & AntiGravity were knocking around so here I am. I'm going to start a thread for cheapskate coders using GSD as that's the road I'm pursuing
