Two Years of Vibe Coding: This Dev's Daily Stack Is Claude Code + Next.js + Postgres
West_Sound5224 · reddit · 2026-09-21
A developer with two years of vibe coding experience argues the trendy beginner stack (Cursor+Lovable+Supabase+Vercel) collapses once you need workspaces, permissions, subscriptions, usage limits, email and testing. His daily stack:
- Coding: Claude Code + Codex working directly in the repo, keeping Git, terminal and deploys under his control
- Language: TypeScript everywhere + Tailwind so AI tweaks utility classes without breaking the UI
- Framework: Next.js, keeping frontend and backend in one project for typical SaaS
- UI: Untitled UI React instead of asking AI to build a design system
- Database: plain PostgreSQL
- Backend: a proven foundel.dev template covering auth, roles, subscriptions, email and security
- Payments: Stripe centralized billing
- Deploy: Docker; Testing: Claude/Codex + Playwright
