Compile-Time Vibe Coding

Worried about reproducible builds? Let OpenAI generate your source code at compile time. Built mostly for the meme, but maybe there's something there...?

In plain words

Compile-Time Vibe Coding is a developer tool that uses OpenAI to generate source code at compile time. Designed primarily as a conceptual experiment, it addresses concerns about reproducible builds by dynamically creating code during the compilation process. The tool is intended for developers curious about unconventional approaches to code generation, though its practical applications remain exploratory.

Tired of fast, reproducible and secure builds? Try compile-time vibe coding. use vibecode :: vibecode ; # [ vibecode ] fn sum ( xs : Vec < i32 > ) -> i32 { } let result = sum ( vec ! [ 42 , 86 , - 17 ] ) ; assert_eq ! ( result , 111 ) ; // That's numberwang! Tell me more! Add vibecode to your project: cargo add vibecode At present, vibecode only supports OpenAI; you'll need to set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to compile your code. The vibecode attribute macro generates the body of the annotated function at compile time using an LLM. You can provide more context via an explicit prompt. The complexity you configure determines the model vibecode uses to generate the code: use…from github.com

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of SynapsCAD, an open-source desktop application I've been building that combines an OpenSCAD code editor, a real-time 3D viewport, and an AI assistant. You can write OpenSCAD code, compile it directly to a 3D mesh, and use an LLM (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, ...) to modify the code through natural language. Demo video: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=cN8a5UozS5Q A bit about the architecture: - It’s built entirely in Rust. - The UI and 3D viewport are powered by Bevy 0.15 and egui. - It uses a pure-Rust compilation pipeline (openscad-rs for parsing and csgrs…

    I built a wizard to turn ideas into AI coding agent-ready specsNov 2025 · vibescaffold.dev · ▲71

    I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will guide you from idea → vision → tech spec → implementation plan. It will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to understand & iteratively execute on your vision. How it works: - Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated workflows I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite" results…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
