Constraints


We can use constraints to build the most important value first.

For my decision integrity AI app, I’m focusing on problems in the most important deals founders of products and intellectual property face. My AI app’s output in phase 1 is raw. Instead of focusing on how clean it looks, I’m focused on the value it provides. Limited time and coding experience are my constraints. Therefore, I will move on to build the value in phase 2. I will improve my app’s appearance in the future. I just don’t want to get bogged down on aesthetics right now. Solving issues in my users’ dealmaking are my most important goal at this stage.

Leverage


Capital + labor are powerful leverages.

If you don’t have capital and labor, focus on the following:

Permissionless IP (direct to customer and no gatekeeper) + 0 replicable cost + AI + code + digital media = insane leverage that will get you the capital and labor.

My Obsession.


I’m obsessed with AI and my mission to help founders of intellectual property (“IP”) and products with it. It helps me to push through my recent 11-hour streak to fix bugs in my decision integrity AI app. During my work breaks, I consume books and videos on AI. I write down ideas in developing my product. I type notes on how it could help my users.

The following are my next steps in building my baby IP:

  1. Session 1 (next 1-2 hours) — Logo and basic header.
  2. Session 2 (1-2 hours) — Privacy Policy + Terms of Service pages.
  3. Session 3 (2-3 hours) — User authentication.
  4. Session 4 (1-2 hours) — Landing page.
  5. Session 5 (1 hour) — End-to-end testing.

My minimum viable product (“MVP”) launch for my decision integrity AI app has been pushed back due to bugs that I had to fix. My MVP target date is now Monday May 18, 2026.

Don’t assume your AI’s suggestion is the next best move. Keep asking your AI questions.


I’m realizing that since my switch from OpenAI’s ChatGPT to Claude Cowork as my lead coder to guide me as a vibe coder and AI architect, at times, Claude would skip steps in the process like ChatGPT. If we executed a part of Bubble app’s process before, it assumes I would do it. I had an intuition to do it, but I thought that step in the process was not necessary since it didn’t mention it.

Once, ChatGPT suggested I delete 2 days of vibe coding work I did, but I corrected it. It backtracked and told me I was right. So far, Claude has not made such a bad suggestion yet.

I think it is important to not completely take the advice of any AI you’re working with if you know or have a feeling that a certain step should or should not be taken. Keep asking it questions before proceeding. Patience is key in the process of vibe coding.

AI Disagreements & Bugs


Now that I’m using Anthropic’s Claude Cowork (my CTO, lead coder and engineer, and second analyst and strategist) and Open AI’s ChatGPT (my COO, lead analyst and strategist, and second coder and engineer) as my business partners in building my law/business/psychology/science decision integrity app to protect founders from bad deals and bad people, I’m finding out that they will sometimes disagree with each other and I will sometimes disagree with one or both of them. It really is a council of partners. 😆

As the only human in the loop, the CEO, I have to make a judgment call to keep our team moving forward. With no humans as my business partners in a venture for the first time, it is really interesting and fun. There’s no emotional drama, power trips, comparison on who is doing more work, and any other baggage that comes with humans. It’s just the three of us trying to solve problems, which are mostly dealing with bugs. Yes, bugs. Using a “–” instead of “-” and other technical stuff that can hold up the progress. I spent the whole morning trying to figure out a bug with Claude Cowork. I’m going to take a break because I’m not AI and get back with Claude this afternoon on this issue. Darn bugs. I want to work on my AI’s brain, its branding, and the fun stuff. 😆

Anyway, it’s been a learning experience since I’ve started this journey on January 16, 2026. I’ve watched ads on how a user created an app in hours on her smartphone while riding the train on her commute. I’ve seen so many influencers bragging about developing their apps in hours or a within a day. Next week, May 16, 2026, will mark 4 months of vibe coding for me. Sure, I also have to do my law and real estate work for my clients as well as startup digital game and filmmaking work with my business partners for two other separate ventures, but still, I’ve been pumping in many hours in this AI app journey. It’s definitely like a hero trying to succeed an epic quest that involves traversing many worlds. That’s why I’m a strong believer in the work ethic and discipline that university taught me. It’s like I never left. It continues on in my journey from one world to the next as I put on my armor as an entrepreneur, lawyer, politician, realtor, writer, storyteller, and vibe coder.

Time your work with Forest app to make it fun.


I just finished four hours of vibe coding. I time my work with my Forest app in which I grow trees, plants, and flowers. This is known as the Pomodoro method. I’ve been practicing this for my work and studies for a number of years now. The ticking clock keeps me moving forward. Plus, I know exactly how long I’ve been working.

People say they work many more hours than their actual work. It’s a form of signaling that they’re a hard worker when in fact their actual work time could be drastically less if they timed themselves.

This productivity practice with Forest app makes work more fun. I strongly believe in gamifying your life to get your goals accomplished.

Claude AI makes my work fun!


I’m really enjoying Anthropic’s Claude AI, specifically, Claude Cowork. It is more organized and visually outlines the process better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT. I like how it recaps what we finished.

The biggest limitation I found with Claude so far is that it is a lot more expensive than ChatGPT because it measures your use by brain power used by Claude AI according to tokens that burn fast with deep thinking such as coding and AI architect work. Once you use up all your tokens, you have to wait until your tokens reset by a certain date and time. Either that or you pay for more tokens.

I will keep using Claude for coding and AI architect work, but have ChatGPT assist me with my business and legal work since pursuant to the 2026 Stanford AI Index Report, both Claude and ChatGPT rank high in reasoning. Their ranking fluctuates depending on the type of reasoning. When it comes to legal reasoning, ChatGPT leads Claude by about 10 percentage points.

As far as user experience, Claude is more fun for me. It makes me want to work more. This is similar to how I enjoy using a Mac OS instead of a PC OS. The system makes my work feel like play. This is very important for me. I will keep this in mind as I build my law/business/psychology/science decision integrity AI app for my users (founders).

My AI Coding Team


My AI Coding Team

I’m happy to have Claude as my new Chief Technology Officer and lead coder and analyst.

Nova (OpenAI), my Chief Operating Officer and lead strategist, will be my second coder and analyst when I need her.

Day 1 in finishing the last 20% of my law/business/psychology/science decision integrity AI app for founders is complete according to Claude’s 7-day sprint he created for us.

I love my AI team. 🤖🧑🏻‍💻🤖

Claude Code vs. Codex


I’m going to be trying Anthropic’s Claude soon. Many AI programmers are raving about Claude Code specifically.

I watched two vibe coders use Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex to build the same app. Claude Code uses a team of agents to build the app. Whereas, Codex has one senior coder to work with you. Claude Code costs more and is slower. Codex is cheaper and faster. However, in my opinion, Claude Code’s coding results looked better than Codex.

Currently, I’m just using OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Bubble to build my AI app. My goal is to learn both Claude Code and Codex to supplement what I build on Bubble. I’m even wondering if I need Bubble.

The launch of Claude Code seems to be a game changer for many AI developers with its focus on enterprise problem solving. OpenAI is trying to catch up with its release of Codex. A lot of the programming community seems to like Claude Code. I will try both and see what happens.
