I realized I'm just a "vibecoder" after a 7month project failed

Hi! Before college my background was in economics but I decided to switch to IT right around the time I started learning to program the AI revolution kicked off so I idk why i started using it for everything

At first it felt like a superpower I started dominating my classes and won several hackathons I’m not gonna lie it wasn't because I'm some coding genius but mostly because in my country maybe only 10% of students know how to use ai (the rest just chat about there problem)

this year I spent 7 months working extremely hard on a major project (trying to build my own browser) however I recently hit a massive wall i discovered that the AI had given me a completely flawed system the architecture was wrong, the security was fundamentally broken, and essentially everything under the hood was a mess

It was a terrible feeling It forced me to take a hard look at my skills and I realized that I’m just a "vibecoder" I lack the foundational knowledge to build or verify a real system

so help me how do i learn programming in this new AI world??

Solo dev building a new power-user browser (Local AI, Native Tor routing, Hacker Mode). Looking for feedback!

Hello! I’m a solo student dev building an experimental privacy browser called Pablo. I’m looking for feedback from the browser community on my architecture before I open-source the beta.
I wanted to build a browser that acts like a true agent for power users—both on the standard web and the deep web.

The Clearnet & Daily Driver Features:

Immersive 3D AI Assistant: Instead of a lazy sidebar chatbot, the webpage drops away into a reactive 3D-rendered AI agent for deep research and task automation.

Hacker Mode: A terminal-based UI state that instantly unlocks advanced developer and cybersecurity modules right in the browser.

Faster Than Chrome: I’ve aggressively optimized the Electron engine to use significantly less RAM. You get elite AI power without your laptop getting hot or slow.

The "Ghost Protocol" (Darknet Features):

Agentic Darknet Browsing: You can visit .onion links directly inside Pablo. Just paste a private link, and the browser handles the complex encrypted routing (SOCKS5) instantly. No external VPNs or Tor apps required.

The Darkweb "Hazmat Suit": Navigating onion sites can be dangerous. I added a local AI assistant that isolates and "reads" these pages for you first. It provides a safe summary and threat report before you even render the site.

Uncensored Local Intelligence: Most AI tools have "filters" that block hard technical questions. Pablo’s AI runs locally (Dolphin via Ollama) and is uncensored. Whether you’re researching zero-day exploits or sensitive data, it gives you the raw facts without moral lectures.

The Website Resurrector: If a website (clearnet or darknet) is deleted or blocked by a government, Pablo automatically searches digital archives to find the "ghost" version of the page for you.

Solo Student Dev Update: My AI agent can now safely navigate the Darkweb for you

3aslema! I’m the solo student developer from Tunisia building Pablo, a privacy-first AI browser.

Today, I’m launching the Ghost Protocol update. Pablo isn't just a browser anymore—it’s an agent that explores the most private parts of the web so you don't have to.

Here is what’s new:

  • The Darkweb "Hazmat Suit" – Navigating ".onion" sites can be dangerous. I added a built-in assistant that "reads" these private pages for you first. It provides a safe summary and a threat report so you know if a site is a scam or a risk before you even look at it.
  • Agentic Darknet Browsing – You can now visit the Darkweb directly inside Pablo. Just paste a private link into the navbar, and Pablo handles the complex encrypted routing instantly. No extra software is required.
  • Uncensored Intelligence – Most AI tools have "filters" that stop them from answering hard technical or controversial questions. Pablo’s AI is uncensored. Whether you’re researching cybersecurity or deep-web data, he gives you the raw facts without the moral lectures.
  • The Website Resurrector – If a website has been deleted or blocked by a government, Pablo doesn't stop. He automatically searches digital archives to find the "ghost" version of the page and summarizes it for you.
  • Faster Than Chrome – I’ve optimized the engine to use significantly less RAM than Google Chrome. You get elite AI power and total privacy without your laptop getting hot or slow.

Soon, the beta opens to all.

Merci for all the support!
