I built a Markdown editor and preview tool in 2025 with NO Copilot
It's 2025 and the year of vibe coding. You reach for your favorite AI and let it run wild while you chill in between prompts. If I were a smart man, I would jump on the bandwagon. But for some reason I'm lagging behind on this one. I recently started a side project (slickpdf.com), and was able to launch it completely without AI. Full stack, no AI was used in the creation of the project. Not that this is an accomplishment or anything. Honestly, it's more of a confession. AI greatly reduces overhead, especially when starting from scratch. I could've had Copilot scaffold my landing page, or asked ChatGPT to flesh out my app UI using PrimeVue. These steps would've saved me hours of work. But no, instead I opted for the hand-written approach of yesteryear. True, it's thrilling, and I like the control of knowing that I wrote and inspected every line of code. But I'm left to wonder how much faster I can ship with a little sprinkle of the AI pixie dust. Anyways, don't forget what you're capable of without AI. Remember that it's a tool to make you better at something you're already good at. It augments your existing skills.
