Autonomously create a multi-tiered web application using VS Code + Cline + Claude Opus

In this rather lengthy post, I'll describe how I went about using agentic AI code generation to autonomously create, build, and deploy a custom web application. What is Autonomous Code Generation? Let's get a few concepts clarified first. AI code generation is generally meant to refer

AI Code Generation: Overview, Risks, and Challenges

AI code generation relies on machine learning and natural language processing to automatically generate code. It is such a broad definition and can imply anything from simple autocompletion to fully autonomous development. Other common synonyms for "AI code generation" in use today are: * Vibe coding - Coined by

Comparing the Claude Sonet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.6 LLM models

So we're told that Claude Sonet 4.6 is an LLM that is optimized for speed and balanced performance when it comes to AI code generation, while Claude Opus 4.6 excels in maximum reasoning, coding, and complex problem-solving tasks (i.e., more expensive). I have so far

Cline: Use Local Workstation

Cline: Use Local Workstation

My son has recently upgraded his computer, so I got a five-year-old machine with the RTX 3060. Let's see if it could be used with common tools and AI agents.

Creating an API key on Anthropic

If you want to get started with AI-assisted coding (aka AI code generation, vibe coding, autonomous coding), one way is to use a plugin within your IDE. You will often need an API key so that your IDE can connect to a 3rd party model to do all its AI

Comparing Cline and GitHub Copilot for Autonomous AI Code Generation

This will be a quick blog post as I share my raw feedback. I haven't captured screenshots and this won't be an exhaustive comparison, but it will describe my initial reactions to doing the same exercise in both Cline and GitHub Copilot. I previously conducted basic

Lightning speed AI code generation with Diffusion LLM

The speed at which LLMs perform are starting to become bottlenecks in scaling up usage. It is not unusual to wait for minutes, or even tens of minutes, for your AI code assistant to spit out some code. Recently, I played around with Mercury Coder Mini, a Diffusion LLM (as

Impressive Autonomous AI Code Generation with Cline

I was truly impressed with my first experience using Cline, an open-source AI coding assistant. In this blog post, I'll demonstrate how to use Cline to fully and automatically generate code from a natural language prompt, requiring zero coding on part of the developer. Granted this is a

My initial experiences with Tabnine AI code assistant (hopeful)

So I signed up for the 90-day free trial to Tabnine to explore it's AI code assistance capabilities in a real-life scenario that I was working on. As stated on their website, they support a number of IDEs and I happen to be using VS Code. Instructions are
