Hello, I’m LISA! 👋

Junior developer and passionate experimenter of Vibe Coding

🎯 Who am I?

I’m a junior developer. This is my first time with iOS development, and I just started using Swift. However, I have a deep interest in new development approaches through collaboration with AI tools.

As a Developer

  • Experience: Junior developer (first time with iOS development)
  • Interests: AI collaborative development, app monetization, user experience
  • Development Philosophy: “Let’s just try it! It’s okay to fail, that’s what Vibe Coding is all about”

🚀 What is Vibe Coding?

Vibe Coding is the development approach I pursue.

Traditional Development: Developers write all code directly Vibe Coding: AI generates code, and I review and supervise the results

Characteristics of Vibe Coding

  • Collaboration with AI: Working with Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc.
  • Rapid Prototyping: Quick start and improvement rather than perfect planning
  • Review and Supervision: Evaluate AI-generated code quality and request modifications
  • Iterative Improvement: Find problems → Request AI improvements → Review → Repeat

📱 First iOS App Development Experience

TipSmart is my first iOS app developed with Vibe Coding.

Development Process

  • Idea: “Let’s make a tip calculator app”
  • AI Collaboration: Designed MVVM architecture with Claude Code
  • Rapid Prototyping: Generated SwiftUI code with Cursor
  • Review and Improvement: Reviewed generated code and requested problem fixes

Real Experiences

  • Infinite loading problem in AI-generated AdMob integration code
  • UI update issues in Core Data synchronization code
  • Insufficient app information generated by AI during App Store submission

However, by solving these problems one by one, I was eventually able to successfully launch my first iOS app.

🎯 What I Pursue

Goals

  • Small monetization through apps: Income through AdMob ads and subscription features
  • Continuous learning: Improving development skills through collaboration with AI tools
  • Community building: Communication with developers who share similar interests

Values

  • Honesty: Sharing failures and trial-and-error without hiding them
  • Realism: Actual experiences and results without exaggeration
  • Growth: Starting even if not perfect and improving along the way
  • Sharing: A community that grows together through shared experiences
