Wow what this technology has become is so empowering and insane. I started using AI to code in August 2025 I started on cursor with chat gpt and claude. i dont really know anything about programming like 12 years ago when i was 16 i messed around with html css and php a little bit and even made some money online as kid on sites like DigitalPoint.com. I really like coding but found it difficult to self teach at that each i got a lot of fundamentals down and learned how to manage mysql database. My life went a different way and I never got back into coding and when i was interested again in the last few years i have found it difficult to even see where to start it seems that coding has gotten so much more complex that i can ever remember it being. 
But back in August I heard about vibe coding so I got a cursor Subscription and threw in some ideas. and it created some neat stuff. and then i started working on tools for my job to make my and my coworkers life easier and use less paper to keep track of things. I created some pretty simple tools at first using cursor and i wasted a lot of time having the ai make things then i would upload via ftp to test and then find errors and give the errors to the ai and it would adjust and process and repeat. now one thing is i understand just enough to sit there and watch and read what the AI does and i can read pretty fast so a lot of times I could catch and understand when it was hallucinating or falling into error loops. but over time I thought there had to be a better way. then i learned about dockers and now I have my site running on local host for testing and online for production. this was great. 

I eventually realized that cursor was not the way to go and I switched to a claude subscription and learn how to setup gitbash and use claude in the terminal in vscode. this was awesome and Claude has been the best since I mostly just used sonnet like 98% of the time. I found Opus 4.1 to be too much for me at the time it would spin up spec sheets so long i would get overwhelmed. This entire time i still just use Claude very basically over the next few in the terminal i build out several tools (lots of spaghetti code) but i do slowly learn a lot of new tequniques over time. and i learn to prompt egineer much more consicely and effeciently.
Over time I learned how to use ssh and had it create batch scripts to deploy a staging version of my site for testing and another batch script to deploy to production. which made things so much eaiser. so now claude could edit with me in local host and i can test on staging and then deploy to produciton. this workflow has been awesome. Since August Ive Built 14 Tools for my salvage yard job and 5 of them are used in daily operations now by 10+ users. I know the codebase is weak but it has been amazing to see what this tool can do and even though some of my ideas have been extremely in depth and convuluted at times the ai has still managed to implement every feature albeit took a long time and my process wasnt effecient.
Now with Opus 4.5 and my learning about MCP dev tools.. this has taken what I can do in weeks to days.... The next level upgrades that they packed into this thing are out of this world. With everything ive learned over time as a vibe coder and using Opus 4.5 I was able to rebuild a tool that i already made 2 attempts on previously with sonnet 4.5  and spent several wasted days in frustration but with Opus 4.5, A very long detailed prompt, and MCP Dev tools. The ai was able to rebuild and resolve one of the tools less than a 5 hour session. I was so impressed. Now I got an idea from my wife to work on another project and I just also learned how to instruct claude to create a detailed spec doc that the ai can create sub task agents to perform multi tasks along the spec together to create a non spaggehti codebase. 
I spent an hour going back and fourth for the entire concept asking it for recommendations, and to ask qestions for clarity on the entire core conectp and workflow. we talked through everything including security, cookies, session management, workflow, design specifications, usage details then i told the AI to make a spec doc of everything we talked about comprehesnsively but i have learned that it will run out of conext doing this so i told it to break it down in sections and create an index that makes sense so we can have task agents create the entire app from the ground up together effeicently. 
it did this and we utilized this technique and claude was able to build the entire app from the ground up even the entire core structure in 1 shot it took about an hour  or so but it just kept delegating task to new sub agents and didnt need to auto compact. now when it was done it did not work at all. there was several errors but with MCP dev tools the ai was able to systematically discover similiar issues and assign task agents to make sure the spec doc was followed properly and find issues and fix them after a couple more hours the entire site was working and i since added several feature and adjust the ui significantly.
This Ai thing is the craziest thing i have experienced in my life I am so addicted to vibe coding i find it so fascinating that it can build all these incredible things. I cant even imagine what you people who truly understand programming can do with this stuff if you learn to utilize it to its full potential theres probably so much more that i can do to make this process even better an easier but even my methods have become super efffecient and the codebases are becoming cleaner even for someone like me who has a very basic understanding and is just a vibe coder.
The tool i built with my wife was supposed to be just a simple web app for us to create list of people for a christmas list that we could add items to and compare the prices at different places then decide later but it turned into a multi-tenatnt gift idea helper tool to keep track of the various stages of find gifts for people and keeping track of it all and your budgeted amounts for events and people. 
I am excited to see whats to come. 

How can i clean up this long message without making it sound like an ai wrote it and keeping it feeling human and natural and full of emotiion like it currently is. I jsut want to polish it so it clean and easy to understand and read what are your thoughts and suggestions for improvement
