Vibe Coding Group Weekly Roundup: Oct 12
Money and hosting questions led the group in the week of October 12. A client asking for a $50 static site drew the most comments, a member asked why nobody talks about hallucination anymore, and another wrote candidly about a year of vibe coding without a sale. Members also compared Supabase with MongoDB and asked where to host for free.

Because it doesn't really do this anymore with proper prompting techniques, and giving the LLM access to RAG / web enabled lookup tools.
99% of people here would be just fine with MySQL
Same. its just as expensive as when i got my 3D printers. But i do enjoy making things that i come up with that i personally use for work and what not. I even made a complete DnD Campaign Management system for me and my buddies just so we could have it our way when we play DnD.
ChatGpt suggested supabase so that's what I went with. Only database I've ever used. But heck I'm only a few months into building stuff.
