Reefing and AI (Apex debugging)

[phatduckk]

Welcome to vibe coding.

I don't speak code but ai tools like these have allowed me to make a ton of software tools I use all the time.

I used vscode co-pilot to help setup a bunch of local llm on my gaming computers when I want to build something, I'm now using my own hardware and private models that only cost the electric it takes to run the machine.

ya ive been coding professionally for 20+ and all the new AI stuff feels like cheating. I could have done this manually but, now, why bother?

At work I manage around 50 engineers and its definitely a disruption (put mildly).

It's good for stuff like this where I don't care. We use it for production code too but there's a bunch of guardrails and more planning & "oversight". For side projects, especially those you start from scratch, it's pretty great. It's a mixed bag bringing it into an existing project (depends on size and complexity). Still doable - just have to change your strategy away from "YOLO, let it rip" to something way more sensible

The amount of slop that can gum stuff up happens fast lol

yup - but you can strategize to make it not the worst thing you've ever seen.

You can have claude inspect other code or interview you to understand the structure you want... give it some parameters to work within.
Also you can make it document how its building each feature for you and itself.

So it can definitely make trash but there's some stuff you can do to keep it within some rails.

but for this I just let it loose and do whatever it wants =)

Have you messed with claude-flow?

That can get expensive fast if you dont use claudecoderouter or openclaude to use a cheaper or local llm

sure - its all about tradeoff. projects like this where I don't care I don't do it. at work where a Fortune 500 is paying then you're good to go =)

Nice work!

I finally worked the bugs out if my ai swarm.

4 ai capable computers running custom models of varies flavors and sizes.

Running openclaude and using ruflo to activate all 4 models into agents that work as a team to divide tasks for complicated jobs.

Not as fast as using claude code with ruflo (previously claude-flow) but also cheap.

Oh look - multiple folders on the apex dashboard. You can now have as many dashboard "folders" as you want... (now that I typed it out I realized I should rename this stuff to Dashboard, duh)

Anyways - its cool and it works (still have to test more)
