GM Farcaster (podcast)

My setup for vibe coding a Farcaster mini app

1.  set up github project repository
2. use v0 to build out a frontend
3. use cursor or claude code to build out rest of app (personally found claude code to be better). include the llms.txt from farcaster as context (makes it easier for AI to read)
4. set up a database if need to store data (e.g. storing user scores in a game). I used neon with vercel since easy integration
5. deploy to vercel
6. set up farcaster specific features like a manifest and embed
7. once deployed, use ngrok to test mini app locally so not testing new features live with users

We're loving how @linda is documenting her process for vibe coding miniapps.  It's a little more involved than just asking AI to write some code.  

Sorry @gregarious, you might have to wait just a little bit longer before @nounishprof builds hers

oh no probably didnt help that I sort of agreed with her 🙈 

there was a good conversation in our chat today about learning new skills, and how experienced people tend to overestimate how easy something is, and new people tend to underestimate it. @awedjob had a good reference for it but I forget what he called it

Cohost of /gmfarcaster, Farcaster's #1 news show.  Engineer. Mom x 3.

One way an expert can better teach a novice is to perform "re-enactive empathy" (Karsten Stueber). Expert guitar players were split into two groups. Half performed a piece like normal. The other half performed with their non-dominant hand. All were asked to offer advice to beginner level guitar learners. Guess which group was judged to be more helpful instructors?

Thank you!

Optimal Path

It's more when an expert is doing something they are an expert at. They think it is "easy". It's from "The Extended Mind" by Annie Murphy Paul. Chapter 7 to be exact. "After years of practice, much of an experts' knowledge and skill has become 'automatized'."

Expert trauma surgeons were asked to describe a specific procedure and they neglected to cite 70% of the actions they performed during the procedure.
