HamadMalikKhan··on Show HN: Just gave Claude Code the website and ad budget to see what it would do
1. The keys are on server side. Every section has a separate file on the server with full access to the context (variables), so it renders on the runtime.

Here's how it works Browser -> Request for section -> Backend (with full context and keys) -> Generate it using AI. We are using Deepseek 4.1 flash, so latency is minimal.

2. So far the ad spend is super bad and it's not improving. It tries to correct things too quickly without giving it a time to settle down. When I tried to force it to do long horizons, it stopped spending for days because it was too focused on one grand plan.

The prompt is literally "You have $1,700 and access to these 4 platforms. Do your best to get more people try the demo (core KPI).". We are using Fable 5.1 for Ads.

HamadMalikKhan··on Ask HN: Has anyone made real money from AI gen vibe coded app?
I wrote under 5% of the code by hand. It was mainly telling the AI to build x and how to build it. With the new Fable 5.1, even the how part is getting replaced.

For this project, the maintaince is not too big of a pain, but we are working on another project where it's an absolute pain. Every PR is like 100k lines change, simple bug fix needs 600k tokens. We are probably doing a choppy job here.

The size of the codebase definitely plays a role.

HamadMalikKhan··on Ask HN: Has anyone made real money from AI gen vibe coded app?
Software engineer here, so I am unsure if it counts but we built a product that's doing ~$500k/year and ~95% of it is vibe coded.

The difference would be, we knew what we were doing (This makes me sleep better at night.), because of pre LLM era experience.

Where's the benchmark? I am afraid the model will be nerfed and replaced with an orange after the hype.
HamadMalikKhan··on We’re releasing Jev 1.14.0 along with experimental features for dreamers
Anything that can't be solved with a regex and LLM feels like an overkill. There are surprisingly tons of things that falls in this category. E.g Filter, classification, preprocessing micro decisions, etc.

I am starting to like Typesafe more and more lately. It's plainly simple but the next time I see the same problem, Jev just fits right.
HamadMalikKhan··on Show HN: Every open government tender in the world (Over 250k)
Super interesting! I can see 273,229 records from the network requests. Out of curiousity, how do you plan to keep it updated?
HamadMalikKhan··on Show HN: Timur's Chess – A 14th century chess variant with giraffes
I can feel like a sultan for the first time. Unfortunately, it's Bayezid.
HamadMalikKhan··on Ask HN: How do you find good developer tools quickly?
Can you specify the Stack or things you are trying to build? With Claude Code, the dev tool space is getting exciting and blurry at the same time.
HamadMalikKhan··on We're going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything
This, plus the implementation on the AI providers' side is still choppy. I remember one of our implementations had a $500 limit on OpenAI with auto-recharge enabled. It burned through $600 despite the lower limit.

You can be down serious money even with a limit set.
