Vibe Coding

For this vibe coding session, I decided to test Copilot Pro, taking advantage of the few free trial days. And to put all the chances on my side, I started directly from Olivier P’s repository: 👉 OlivierP-To8/BootFloppyDisk My objective With ChatGPT, I hadn’t managed to create my own code nor to use Olivier’s project to generate a working disk image for the MO5. Yet, in theory, everything seemed simple: I take the same source, copy it into my repo, compile it, use Olivier’s tools… no reason for it to break. ...

As part of my job, I had the opportunity to test Augment. During those professional tests, I found it very relevant, almost “proactive”. By proactive, I mean: not only answering the request, but also anticipating unexpressed problems, proposing alternative solutions, and drawing attention to critical points… you get the idea. I was honestly impressed. Augment offers a 7-day free trial for its coding agent, which was perfect timing: I was planning to run my experiments over the weekend anyway. ...

In a previous episode, I ran quite a few tests and experiments to understand how to code for an MO5. I had asked the AI to summarize what we had learned into Markdown files. The underlying idea was to be able to share this experience with my new MO5 projects without having to copy .md files into each repository. Spoiler alert: vibe coding costs money 😢 The RAG server idea One simple way to share knowledge and context is through a RAG server. ...
