I Used Ai to VibeCode a port of. a Desktop app to Android

[inyerta]

I used GitHub Copilot CLI, used /plan and literally just gave it "Create an Android port of this", then set it to auto mode with and used GPT-5.4 at X-High reasoning.

I should probably be concerned about Auto mode since it's technically giving it carte blanche to do what it wants on your computer (it's also possible to run it in a sandbox). That's both a good thing and bad thing though. I wasn't watching the whole process, just checking in on it on occasion, and it was doing stuff like installing the Android debugging tools, running it in there, taking screenshots and OCRing to fix bugs, etc. It did eventually get in-game in the Android emulator, but when I loaded it on my actual device it still crashed on startup, so I connected my Portal to my laptop and told it to debug it on the actual device, and it resolved the crash issue there by looking at logs, building new APKs, deploying them and running them, all on its own. Still working through some performance issues and other bugs but it's getting there.

I do plan on sharing it eventually, just need to figure out the best way to do it. It required some changes to submodules.

Use claude for boiler plate, codex for checking also no don't set it to xhigh it is going to hallucinate. Have claude as the wildly creative genius and the codex as the boring correction agent. One or the other not both with max creativity

Foids soon are gonna be like 'i'm such a nerdy programmer teehee' after just telling AI to do stuff

Most normies just use LLm's for prompt slop, they don't know how to use it to it's full potential.

Good suggestion, because I'm already noticing a lot of bad code that needs to be cleaned up.

I'm seriously wondering if it's faster to just port it myself at this point.

vibecode is trash and cant create shit , also no normie can make a app or website even with ai
