I vibe coded a vibe coding platform.
In 4 weeks.
Nights and weekends.
And I didn’t write a single line of code.
The result is Webase — an automated AI development platform that generates working apps.
Think Lovable / Replit AI / Bolt… but with a few things I haven’t seen elsewhere yet:
• Auto-generated product roadmaps ✅
• AI-generated feature suggestions ✅
• Automated testing of generated apps ✅
• AI built directly into generated apps ✅
• Auth + database out of the box ✅
How did this happen?
Honestly… a lot of context.
My master's project at Auburn in 2007 was:
"A Web Application to Build Web Applications."
Basically a prehistoric no-code platform.
Later I built an early version of Webase by hand.
So when AI coding tools showed up, I already had the architecture in my head.
Claude Code became the lead developer.
Codex acted like a code reviewer.
Together they built most of the platform.
A few insights for anyone building AI platforms:
1️⃣ Structured outputs are huge.
Most AI actions in Webase return strict schemas.
Automation becomes much easier.
2️⃣ Prompts should be huge.
Context windows are getting massive.
Send detailed instructions.
Don't play "telephone"!
3️⃣ Code is now dirt cheap.
Which means there is literally no excuse for not having test suites. In fact they are more important now! This also allows for more experimentation!
4️⃣ Developers are becoming architects.
Deep context, system thinking and communication matter more than ever.

Thanks for staying to the end of my "Ted Talk"! 😃
Closing questions:
Happy building.
