Vibe Coding Tools: I Built the Same App 4 Times… Here’s What Happened | S2 E8
About this episode
In this episode, Fred Aebli explores building the same app using four different AI tools and discusses the outcomes and insights gained from the experience.
What happens when you try to build the same app using four different AI tools? In this episode of Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks , I set out to explore something called vibe coding … where you don’t write traditional code, you guide AI to build something for you. The idea was simple: Build a fun web app for kids called Backyard Coding Adventures that generates outdoor coding challenges based on age. What happened next surprised me. I tested: Base44 (free tier) Google AI (Gemini Pro) Replit (developer-style environment) Bolt (fast, but… interesting results) Along the way, I ran into: token limits (and what that actually means) differences in speed vs quality the tension between creativity and control and even a bit of anxiety as my “developer mindset” kicked in This episode isn’t just about tools. It’s about a shift in how we build.
