So, are you “vibe coding”? or just asking AI to help with some code?

Have you come across custom instructions for VS Code? Windsurf and Cursor AI etc. all of their options too.

Provide a preset app requirements and/or product requirements document (PRD) and you can make building apps with AI a bit more predictable and follow your guidelines about the tech stack you want to use, testing approach etc.

Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me then check out Patreon. I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions.

Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here!

Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?):

Firstly, I am not sure what AI did to generate that title image!

As mentioned in the shameless plug, I will be starting to do some further deep dives/one-to-one things soon via Patreon… if you are interested of course! (see links below).

Anyway, plugging aside, I did a video a few months ago about Cursor AI (a VS Code based AI editor) and using local LLMs. Although you can use local LLMs (via Ollama or LMStudio etc.), the experience wasn’t very connecting :)

VOID AI Editor addresses this. In fact, it is an open-sourced version of Cursor AI, still based on VS Code, but absolutely does integrate directly with local LLMs such as Llama 4, DeepSeek etc.
