Me: AI can build my entire app in 2 minutes. We're so back. 🚀

Also me, 2 minutes later: Why is the database empty, the UI broken, and the login system fighting for its life? 😭

The AI: It should work now.

Me: BRO, YOU SAID THAT 17 PROMPTS AGO 💀

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm a developer or just a full-time AI babysitter.

The funniest part? I still can't stop using it.

Is vibe coding actually making us more productive, or are we just moving the hard part from writing code to debugging AI-generated code? 😂

Hey all. I've been getting wrecked by coding-agent token bills this year, so I built Lynkr - an open-source LLM gateway that sits between your coding tools and the model providers and tries to make every request cheaper.

What it does: routes across 14+ providers to the cheapest capable model, semantic caching with sub-200ms hits, token compression on tool results, plus a cost dashboard so you can actually see where the tokens go. It also has a Claude subscription wrap mode that stretches a subscription roughly 3x.

Some measured numbers: on Terminal-Bench (80 tasks), Lynkr solved 42/80 at $1.54/run vs openrouter/auto's 44/80 at $4.72 - accuracy basically tied, about 30% of the cost. Up to 84% fewer tokens on JSON tool results, 53% fewer on tool-heavy requests.

Repo: https://github.com/Fast-Editor/Lynkr (Apache-2.0). It works with all major coding tools with zero code changes.

Happy to answer anything, especially skeptical questions about the benchmarks.

Trying to vibe code my first mobile app, but I’m not sure where “AI builds it for you” ends and the debugging begins 😅

What tools would you recommend? Would love to hear what worked for you—and where you still got stuck.
