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??

I built a DSA library in C and it got selected for an open-source program, looking for contributors

I built C_DSA_interactive_suite, a fully modular, console-based DSA library written entirely in pure C11. No frameworks, no abstractions. Just raw C, manual memory management and real implementations built from scratch. The codebase has a clean modular architecture with one .h/.c pair per module, reusable APIs across modules. A single interactive executable as the entry point, Valgrind-clean memory, CI/CD on every push, and .clang-format enforced style throughout. The project just got selected in SSOC, an open-source program similar to GSoC and I am the project admin, which means this summer, project is open for contributiors! If you've been wanting to:

  • Start your Open Source journey
  • Contribute to a real C codebase with proper architecture and planning
  • Implement something like AVL trees, heaps, priority queues, tries, Dijkstra, or DP
  • Get your hands dirty with actual C, not school level C
  • Have your contribution acknowledged by a reputable community

This is your shot. Everybody else is doing MERN. Come touch some real memory. I'm available to walk anyone through the codebase, clear doubts, explain concepts, or help you get your first PR merged. No gatekeeping. Register as contributor for SSOC. Only 5 days left - https://www.socialsummerofcode.com/ GitHub: https://github.com/darshan2456/C_DSA_interactive_suite Drop a comment or open an issue if you're interested. Let's build something worth putting on a resume.

hows this?

Tutorials/Resources to learn coding?

I learnt python last year. Best thing i could make was a rock paper scissors game which i was pretty proud of. Currently I'm learning game development and well the main thing in that is coding. I think it's c#? If anyone knows an awesome tutorial on youtube (i wouldn't mind it being 1+ hours) or books/websites i can use!

Looking for YouTube channel and resource recommendations to level up my coding (JS & Supabase)

Hi everyone, I am currently learning how to code from home and am looking for some fresh resource recommendations. So far, I know the foundations of JavaScript and I am now moving on to building projects using Supabase. However, I want to learn more and reference different sources, explanations, and teaching styles to really solidify my understanding of building projects. Could anyone recommend good learning materials, documentation sites, or YouTube channels that explain intermediate concepts well?

How to start?

Hi! Basically i have a what some will call a short time and some will call a long time on my hand . About 2-3 months until i start college. Now i want to learn programming. I don't know how to explain but ever since i was first introduced to programming ( which was through Phython) i started to have this fixation towards not only just python but programming altogether. However i don't know where to start from and how. My current situation is that i know a little bit basic of python but at the same time i want to learn C or

C++. So please tell me from where i should start. Any advice is appreciated :)

Not really motivated ,but feel like I am missing out on this.

so here's the context, I finally got free from my school and other entrance test as well but in my class i have seen people know many languages C++ python java and then me i haven't written a single line of code in my entire life, throughout schooling but I think it will come handy for my career and its never a loss in learning something new better than wasting the 2-3 months that I have to spare

In short as a complete noob(newbie) where do I start I NEED help brother

help this KID here PLS :)

Can a beginner with basic coding knowledge build valuable apps using AI/vibe coding, or is that a bad foundation?

I’m a 20 y/o CS student and I want to build useful apps/tools, mainly for small businesses like restaurants.

I know some programming basics, but I’m still far from being a strong full-stack developer. I’ve been using vibe coding to build faster, and I already made a small app that is used in my family’s restaurant.

My question is: for a beginner, is it realistic to build valuable apps this way while learning as I go, or should I first focus on learning full-stack fundamentals properly before trying to ship real products?

What would you recommend ?

Let’s Connect & Build Something Together

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. As a solo programmer, I had always been limited to the ability of my skills, as well as the amount of time I had. However, this also limited my ability to learn teamwork.

Which is why, we are now creating a new team where we can

* Connect and network with each other
* Learn teamwork and skills from each other
* Build an exciting product together.

We are currently building indie team that is passionate and motivated in creating something unique while connecting to others and learning new skills. In fact, we already have 6 members too, and are currently deciding the first project to get started on. If you have any ideas, we are all ears.

If you are not an expert, don’t worry, as we welcome anyone that have some experience in coding. It doesn’t have to be too much, but at least you needed to know what you are talking about and touched some codes before. However, this group are limited to teens that are interested in building something together through.

For those interested, fill up this form today and we will contact you if we believe you are the perfect fit: https://forms.gle/2VHGv7sdhEzATUEs5

Come fast through, as the chance for joining is reducing every single minute. Let’s create something exciting together.
