Ruben! Great article, and I'm answering this comment the same way that you are practising excellent content. Go ahead, carry on. I'll follow and support!
Yes, for about month (thanks to you BTW), but most of my Vibe-coding I still do in my Cursor. I just prefer that a bit more technical approach, where I see all files and file structure. However I've found that my customers absolutely prefer to keep themselves as far away as it possible from Cursor :D
i have spent years teaching myself AI with zero technical background. the whole point was to figure out if a non-technical person could do this, and then show others exactly how :)
Yes clarifying intent through questions usually improves outcomes more than overly detailed instructions. It reduces assumptions and tightens direction.

Great! Only the people who really thoroughly understand a subject, can describe it in such simplicity. I’m going to forward this to some people I know that are going to benefit from this. Thanks!
I asked claude to ask me stuff before crafting the prompt just by pure accident..now i m creating prompts and skills like i ve using claude for 10 years…
Thank you Ruben! I mistakenly thought I had set up an account on Claude, but actually hadn't. So after reading your article I actually set it up and have been busy improving web copy. Awesome and thanks for not being patronising with it too.
This is EXACTLY the type of post that I, and probably many people need: real step by step instructions. You read and apply. So simple! Thank you so much for this and keep up the good work
Thank you for this. I’m just about 60 years old and new to everything and this helps me out tremendously. I’m still trying to figure out GitHub/Discord. I’ve been using ChatGPT to walk me through setting up things for amateur radio (building electronics/nodes/etc) I don’t know the first thing about coding or even where you put coding but and was wondering if I should change over to Claude? I’ve read a lot of material about how to go into Claude. Click a few things and then put it into ChatGPT and then it will give you something to move back over to Claude move everything in the Claude. What do you recommend?? Claude or ChatGPT
Claude Code is magic - it took me 8 minutes to have a fully functional website.
i have a guide about it but its outdated, wrote it last March. it might help you set up your Github and Claude account: https://ruben.substack.com/p/claude-code
I have a GitHub account. Should I sign up for a paid account on Claude because right now I have the app on my iphone and it’s free. I have a feeling I should be doing all this from computer?
These are great. Thank you so much for helping us out. It is greatly appreciated!
my pleasure!! let me know if there’s any guide i should make a stupid simple version of :)
Opus 4.8/high changed everything for me 🤝
not gonna lie the low, medium, high, max effort is a nice touch
Hi Ruben, this is great. I enjoyed and learnt from every line and words you wrote. Super grateful.
this is nice to know, Emmanuel :) how did setting up your Claude go?
Was ok. No issues.
that's nice to know
Ruben! Great article, and I'm answering this comment the same way that you are practising excellent content. Go ahead, carry on. I'll follow and support!
when i said Wispr Flow changed my work life i really meant it :) i literally have stopped typing dms, comments, prompts
I love how you simplify things. Brilliant 👌🏾
its really simple you could do it too!!
Great article, as always Ruben! However there is one missing step: "Setup your project(s) in Claude Cowork".
i actually have a focused guide about it (https://ruben.substack.com/p/claude-cowork-project), but i wrote it in March. its not up to date :)
I have made a webinar 2 months ago about vibe-coding www and it is already outdated :D
did you use Claude Code?

It’s rare to find someone as experienced as you are in a subject who has the patience to break it down to the most basic level.
That is the character of a true teacher & servant leader.
Great Job!

The interesting part isn't that AI is simple.
It's that most people think better prompts create better results, when better questions often do more work than better answers.
Claude asking you questions before starting a task produces better output than you writing a 500-word prompt

Excellent Ruben straightforward and compelling
thanks, Doug! any preference for future newsletters?
Great! Only the people who really thoroughly understand a subject, can describe it in such simplicity. I’m going to forward this to some people I know that are going to benefit from this. Thanks!
send it to them, and if they have questions, i would like to hear them :)
The guide the world needs 😃
thanks!! what level are you on now?
I asked claude to ask me stuff before crafting the prompt just by pure accident..now i m creating prompts and skills like i ve using claude for 10 years…
when you know what you want, Claude does the rest
did you use AskUserQuestion? :)
Thank you Ruben! I mistakenly thought I had set up an account on Claude, but actually hadn't. So after reading your article I actually set it up and have been busy improving web copy. Awesome and thanks for not being patronising with it too.
that’s awesome, do let me know how it goes :)

glad you found it useful, more coming!!

yes, you need at least a Pro plan and the Claude desktop app
AI is simple. Having an original thought to put into it is the hard part.
Most people just use these tools to speed up the same robotic, hyper-optimized noise.
Just analyzed this exact optimization burnout
i see people every day running the same average ideas through AI at 10x speed. they have automated mediocrity
