This is exactly why we can’t just blindly copy and paste AI-generated code. Here, I highlight what sets @BelugaIDE apart. While the title focuses on a co-founder search, the content will give you insight into why I��m passionate about equipping people with coding literacy.

Last and definitely not the least! 🖥️

Literally creating AI bubbles. Demo day in T-5. Stoked! 🚀🫧

…and then she brought a real Polaroid camera to the villa! So lucky to have met all of you 🫶🏻

I firmly believe that in the age of AI, those with multidisciplinary skills will thrive. @ann_nnng is a perfect example. Her creativity, combined with strong UI/UX skills and an effective coding agent, resulted in this sleek app that’s now going viral 📸

…. and balancing it all with some good old bromance time 🙈🙈 @brianshinsh @tdinh_me

Dan Go @FitFounder pulled up to the villa today! What an honour! You can tell he’s an athlete at heart. That strong, disciplined mindset carries into everything he does Consistency over intensity. Big goals are hard. The only way through is to keep showing up, no matter what 🔥

Naivety led me to build a full IDE by copy-pasting code from ChatGPT—long before “vibe coding” was even a thing. I launched it 8+ months before Loveable hit the scene. It gave me a serious edge for what I’m building now. Yeah, you can just do things.

Delegating work to AI agents took my multitasking to another level. I can build, market, and learn in public — all while taking guilt-free breaks knowing the work’s getting done. As costs drop, quality and taste matter more than ever. Stay tuned for what I’m cooking up 🧑‍🍳🐳

The best kind of reality tv 🎥

Two of my favourite principles from the @HackerResidency kickoff: 1) Respect: SF has been tough for me as a female founder, so I appreciate this—setting a tone of professionalism and respect for everyone. 2) Subtraction: Removing distractions to bring out the best in us all. 🔥🚀

“I want to learn along the way and become better as a programmer, not just get served mountains of code that I'm told works.” 😎

I really need to stop underestimating bugs 🦋

Treat errors like clues, not enemies.

One thing I love about SF: you don’t need to know anyone. There’s always an event (tech, sports, random hangouts) where you can just show up, and instantly find likeminded people. The city is built for collective serendipity.

I know many people just ‘vibe’ into AI coding, but I’ve been unpacking the fundamentals. And now I feel way more confident, less overwhelmed, and actually IN CONTROL of my AI-generated code. Foundations matter.

GPT-5 doesn’t want to be your intern. It wants to be your engineering “team”. Feels like @sama is nudging devs to level up their product thinking — mission-driven intent over micromanaged prompts. A quiet win for the non-devs who were prompting like PMs all along?

@paulg “He’s a hotshot programmer, he knows AI tools very well.” ← that’s the keyword. You’ve got to be excellent at bossing AI. The danger is thinking you can just prompt your way to greatness without knowing how to supervise its work. That’s when the platform starts exploiting you.

With every new LLM launch, I see more emphasis on the value of domain expertise—not just to guide the AI, but to know whether its outputs are any good. Even with something as simple as booking a flight, if you’ve never done it before, you wouldn’t know if the AI got it right.

In the hands of skilled engineers — who don’t just vibe code but deeply understand AI and software architecture fundamentals and can steer a system toward a thoughtfully selected product goal — [..] + regular hands-on practice building projects, and having a community to talk to

The extreme personality that forms such a strong identity!
