A former Google veteran used vibe coding to test a cat-purring app. It was fun, but wasn't purrfect.
- A former Google veteran with over two decades of experience tried Replit, an AI coding service, to test a cat purring app after Google CEO Sundar Pichai mentioned using the tool.
- Replit was liked for quickly building an app based on a query without needing manual coding, even on the free version, but faced limitations in fine-tuning the app beyond initial setup.
- The user found that requesting changes, like altering the cat's appearance, could confuse Replit and use up credits, indicating it was more suitable for proof of concept than in-depth development.
- Despite its roughness, the user believes such tools could lower the cost of testing ideas and hopes that improvements will be made over time.
- The user appreciated the ease of prototyping ideas with AI coding tools and anticipates further enhancements in the future.
- The user's interaction with Replit was shared by a Tech Memo reader, and the author plans to explore and share insights on another coding tool, Bolt.new, in an upcoming newsletter.
- The author mentioned collaborating with their daughter on a project using Bolt.new and looks forward to showcasing it in the future.
- The article originally appeared in the BI Tech Memo newsletter on Business Insider.
