Community Buzz
EVERY TOOL VIBE-CODERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT: @claudeai for coding, @cursor_ai as AI code editor, @Replit for cloud coding, @vercel for frontend hosting.
Not so beginner vibe coder: installs claude code/antigravity/codex/cursor, setup personal CLAUDE.md with project rules, creates a proper plan before prompting.
The entire AI coding industry just got exposed. Someone leaked the system architecture of every major tool, 30,000+ lines of hidden instructions.
