Plan the File Structure Before You Code

Inherited code you didn't write? Get the map before you touch anything.

Get your data model right before you build on top of it.

The first prompt to paste into Lovable or v0 so you get something real, not a toy.

A landing page that converts, generated clean and ready to tweak.

Login and signup without losing a weekend to auth docs.

The audit nobody does after vibecoding. Find what'll break or get exploited before users do.

The prompt that makes Cursor add a feature cleanly instead of rewriting half your app.

Stuck on an error you don't understand? This gets you unstuck without the lecture.

Clean up messy AI-generated code safely — one small change at a time.

Before you ship AI-generated code, have it checked by something that won't sugarcoat it.

Before you build anything with AI, get the spec right. This writes the PRD for you.

The scariest bug: one user seeing another's data. Check your auth before someone else does.

It works with you clicking around. Will it survive 1,000 real users and a bad day?

Good logs save you at 2am. Bad ones leak data and tell you nothing. Get this right.

The #1 vibecoding mistake: API keys sitting in your code or git history. Hunt them down.

That app you built pulls in hundreds of packages you've never read. Find the risky ones.

Before you let real users in: the checklist that catches what vibecoding skips.

The standard checklist real engineers use. Run your app through it in plain English.

Protect user data properly — before a leak makes the decision for you.

A mock interviewer that runs you through a real system design round, interrupts like the real thing, and scores you at the end. Brutal on purpose.

See a UI you like? Describe it and rebuild it instead of starting from a blank page.

Don't pick a stack you'll fight for years. Describe what you're building and your skills — get a real recommendation with trade-offs, not hype.

Dropped into unfamiliar code? Paste it. Get the map — what it does, how it flows, and where the bodies are buried — before you touch a thing.

Stuck between two technical approaches and second-guessing? Lay them out — get the real trade-offs for YOUR situation and a clear recommendation, not 'it depends.'
