Descriptions:
Web Dev Cody live-streams the development of a personal AI-assisted project management tool built with Electron, using Cursor as the primary coding agent. Rather than a polished tutorial, the video captures the real texture of vibe coding: prompting the AI to fix a dropdown bug in a shadcn component that keeps closing the modal on click, refactoring duplicate form code, adding a Kanban board view, and wiring up a completion sound triggered when an agent finishes implementing a feature.
The architectural centerpiece is a folder-per-feature structure where each feature gets its own directory containing a JSON state file (describing the feature spec and current status) and an agent output log written in real time, so if the Electron app crashes the agent can resume from persisted state. Cody contrasts this with GitHub Issues, arguing that for solo developers with multiple projects, a local file-based task system is more practical.
The video is candid about the limits of AI coding—some bugs the AI cannot fix after multiple attempts and require manual intervention—and includes an honest discussion of Cody’s own shift from skepticism about AI-assisted development to full adoption. Viewers interested in how experienced developers actually integrate tools like Cursor into day-to-day workflows, including how to direct architectural decisions the AI would not have made on its own, will find practical perspective here.
