So I’ve been working on a chiptune music player built in SvelteKit, porting the chiptune3 demo and turning it into something with a proper UI. Week one was basically: paste code, pray it works, repeat until I get something I liked.

The first version came out okay looking, honestly! But I had no real idea what most of it was doing. I’d designed the UI in Figma first, then vibecoded my way into making it exist. It worked -kinda-. I moved on.

Then I started actually reading my own codebase and… yeah. So I scrapped it and starting rewriting the code more properly, I think.

The big win this week: I actually understand how to use Shadcn-Svelte properly now. Like not just “drop this component in and hope” I get how it fits into the rest of my code, how to customize it, when to use it vs roll my own thing. That felt good! :D

I still leaned on AI for a few things I genuinely had no clue about. But there’s a difference between that and what I was doing before, now I understand the code that surrounds the parts I didn’t write. It’s mine, I just had help with a bunch-o-bits :’3 - i know there may be some weird bs in the code from the ais ill try fixing that or checking if its actually proper at some point trust
