What happens when you try to build the same app using four different AI tools?
In this episode of Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks, I set out to explore something called vibe coding… where you don’t write traditional code, you guide AI to build something for you.
The idea was simple:
Build a fun web app for kids called Backyard Coding Adventures that generates outdoor coding challenges based on age.
What happened next surprised me.
I tested:
- Base44 (free tier)
- Google AI (Gemini Pro)
- Replit (developer-style environment)
- Bolt (fast, but… interesting results)
Along the way, I ran into:
- token limits (and what that actually means)
- differences in speed vs quality
- the tension between creativity and control
- and even a bit of anxiety as my “developer mindset” kicked in
This episode isn’t just about tools.
It’s about a shift in how we build.
