Review my Vibe Coded App

In today's (2026-03-17) chat I'll get the chat mob to review my 99% vibe code Word Games is Dumb app and/or vibe code some more of it. This is the first application I've vibe coded and accepted most of the clanker (AI) recommendations unless they were really dumb. It's in TypeScript which is a language I'm not familiar with, so I'm curious to hear what TypeScript experts think of the generated code.

I found the clanker was good at quickly creating a proof of concept (PoC) for my game ideas. For example, I had one idea that I PoC in an afternoon, tried for a couple days, then ditched it.

Choosing Programming Languages for New Projects: Old Language, Old Project - Or New Language, New Project?

How do you decide which language to use when starting a fresh project? Some follow the adage "new project—old language, old project—new language." But what's your approach?

Some points to discuss:

  • Decision criteria and heuristics for language selection
  • How to balance comfort with growth
  • Learning fatigue vs. focused depth: navigating the challenge of learning a new language PLUS building a new project simultaneously

Feature(s) You Wish Existed in Language/Framework/Technology You Are Currently Using

What is a feature, or two, that you wish existed in the language/framework/technology you are currently using? Why do you miss it? Does your current language/framework/technology have the feature but it's just implemented differently than you would like?

Inspired by myself and Omar being newbies with Go and trying not to impose our habits from other languages without a good justification. For example, we recently debated if we should use the Testify testing framework instead of Go's built in way to testing.
