What builders learned

"Agents forget cross-feature rules — keep a plain list and test on a real phone."

"Write the rules into a document and have the agents launch the game themselves to verify each change."

"Automate repetitive translation workflow steps."

"Only keep code you can comprehend."

"Keep each game in one HTML file with no libraries, so the AI can read the whole thing and fix a bug in one pass."

"most of the time goes to taste, not to code - look at references, then iterate on the details"

"Version comparison evidence so scores stay honest when tools ship weekly"

"Curate agent skills in public repos before shipping the directory UI."

"Keep each country indicator’s reporting year and source definition next to the chart."

"You have to monetize. I have started the process. I am using bookshop.org as an affiliate. I have added 101 ebooks to the bookstore level of my app. I am also planning to add buy me a coffee to help raise funds. I applied to several different grants and was looking at creditforstartups.com"

"Break a story into shots before you generate the final film."

"Make acceptance live outside the model: verify results on disk and keep receipts, including refusals."

"Pair fast iterations with real user feedback before polishing the UI."

"Screenshot the real output and look at it - a passing test will happily ship a garment with the print off-centre."

"Be explicit that in-image text replacement is not a text overlay, and validate results on varied backgrounds."

"Check the rendered interface after layout changes: label and toggle spacing can be wrong even when the code compiles."

"Just keep trying"

"Keep the math deterministic and let the model write only the prose — then a wrong number is a reproducible bug, not an argument with a hallucination."

"Make the model write the schema and its validator first — every downstream bug it would have caused turns into a loud parse error instead of silently bad data."

"Test an in-page annotation tool against the host page, not only itself—event propagation, stacking contexts, and DOM reattachment caused most of the hard bugs."

"Give each agent its own pane, then keep tests and logs visible beside the implementation."

"Trust yourself more than you trust the models!"

"follow the vibe, ask a child, they know what good looks like"

"just get started"

"Don't take it all too seriously."

"Ship Quick "

"Build something YOU want to use -- you'll care more, hang in there longer, find more edge cases, and if nothing else, end up with something useful to YOU."

"Lock the in-scope / out-of-scope list before you write a line of code — saying no is the hard part of a flat-fee product."

"Make it as complicated as you can, then chop off the fat."

"Sometimes hobby becomes a business."

"Go with extreme programming"
