Vibe Coding by SkynetLabs
Real human at a real keyboard. Just one that types 12x faster now.
Vibe coding is how I (Waseem, the actual person you'll be talking to) ship real apps, sites, and tools from a cafe in Bali, with Claude Code as my pair partner and the rest of the AI toolchain on the bench.
5 to 14 days from brief to live. No agency layer, no PM email chain, no SDR funnel. You talk to me. I talk to the keyboard. The keyboard talks to the models. The thing ships.
Live from Canggu, Bali
Direct answer
What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is a human-led, AI-paired build workflow in which an experienced developer drives the design and judgment calls while large language models like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex handle the typing, the scaffolding, and the multi-file refactors. At SkynetLabs, Waseem Nasir runs the workflow from Bali and ships production websites, Chrome extensions, n8n nodes, and AI micro-products in a fixed 5 to 14 day window. The vibe is not the laptop. The vibe is the builder.
The human in the loop
You talk to me. Not a chatbot.
I sit at the cafe under the brick arch in Canggu most mornings. Blue polo, oat-milk americano, a 14-inch laptop, and Claude Code humming in the terminal. That's where your build happens. No offshored ticketing system, no "your account manager will be in touch", no AI-only agency.
When you ping me on email, you get me. When we hop on a call, you see my face. When something breaks on production at 2am Bali time, you get a reply from me, not from a queue.
The AI part of the stack is loud and impressive and it deserves a page like this. The human part is the part that actually decides if your thing is any good.
The toolchain
5 models on the bench. One picks the lineup.
No single model is best at everything. Here's the lineup and when each one comes in.
Primary
Claude Code
The brain. Long-context refactors, multi-file edits, agent loops.
When we reach for it
Every build. From the first scaffold to the final deploy. It reads the whole repo and plans the work.
Speed
Replit
When the deploy needs to be live in 8 minutes.
When we reach for it
Throwaway demos, client pitch sandboxes, the 'can you just show me' builds that don't deserve a full repo.
IDE
Cursor
When you want IDE-grade inline edits.
When we reach for it
Mid-build, when I'm touching specific files and want tab-complete + a small chat that sees only the open buffer.
Volume
Codex
Heavy code-gen, batch boilerplate, throwaway scripts.
When we reach for it
When I need 40 similar API route handlers, or a CSV-to-TS-types pipeline. It's the boring-bulk specialist.
Context
Gemini
Long-doc analysis, big-context image grounding.
When we reach for it
When the client sends a 90-page PDF spec, or 30 screenshots of their old site. Million-token window earns its keep.
The pipe coding flow
From vibe check to live, in 5 moves.
Same flow for every build. Same fixed window. No surprise invoices, no "phase 2 of 6" deck.
01
Vibe check
30-min call. You describe the dream out loud. I ask the awkward questions about budget, deadline, and what 'done' actually looks like. No deck, no slide funnel.
02
Pipe it in
You send the artifacts: PDFs, screenshots, voice memos, a Loom of you using the thing you wish existed. I read all of it before I touch a line.
03
Pair with the agents
I sit at the cafe, Claude Code sits next to me, we ship the first working version. Multi-hour build sessions. Live screenshare if you want it.
04
Ship to staging
Vercel preview link in your inbox. You click around, scream-test it, send me 'more pop on the hero' and 'this button needs to live on the right'. I iterate.
05
Live within the week
Production deploy. DNS cutover. Monitoring wired up. Hand-off doc in your inbox. 14 days of free bug fixes. The repo is yours.
What we vibe-code
Six lanes, all fixed-price.
If it's code that ships in under two weeks, it probably fits in one of these.
5 days ship
Next.js sites
Marketing sites, flagship clinic builds, SaaS landing pages, agency sites.
$3.5k–9k
5 days ship
Chrome extensions
Sales-team helpers, scraping tools, in-page widgets for niche workflows.

5 days ship
n8n custom nodes
Private nodes for client-only integrations. TypeScript, fully versioned.
$1.8k–4k
10 days ship
AI-agent micro-products

“AI doesn't replace the builder. It replaces the typing. The judgment, the taste, the ‘no, that button needs to live on the right’ that's still me.”
A team of agents can scaffold a Next.js app in 90 seconds. None of them know your client base. None of them know that the dental atelier in Manhattan won't trust a site that hides pricing. None of them know that a Bali wellness funnel needs to address the "is this only for people who already meditate" objection in the hero. That's the judgment layer. That's what you're paying for.

FAQ
The honest answers.
Is this a coding bootcamp?
No. It's a done-for-you build service. I sit at the keyboard, Claude Code sits next to me, and we ship your thing. You get the working product, the source code, and a hand-off doc. You don't have to learn anything unless you want to.
Do you write the code or does AI?
Both of us, every line. Claude Code drafts, I read every diff, I push back on bad calls, I rewrite anything that looks wrong. AI types fast. I bring the taste, the judgment, and the 'no, that pattern will bite you in 6 months' instinct. You're hiring a human builder with a very fast typist as a pair partner.
What happens after delivery?
You get the repo, the deployment, a written hand-off doc, and 14 days of free bug fixes. After that, I offer a flat monthly maintenance retainer if you want me on call. Most clients don't need it. The code is yours, in your GitHub, no lock-in.
Can I watch you build live?
Yes. I run screenshare sessions during the heavy build days (usually day 2 to day 4). Some clients love this, some find it overwhelming. It's optional. Async daily updates with screenshots and a Loom are the default.
What if I change my mind mid-build?
Tell me. Most scope adjustments cost nothing if they happen before staging. Bigger pivots get a new fixed quote, no surprises. I'd rather rebuild section 3 on day 4 than ship something you don't love. The whole point of the 5–14 day window is that pivoting is cheap.
Why Claude Code and not just GitHub Copilot?
Copilot is a faster autocomplete. Claude Code is a teammate. It holds the entire codebase in context, plans multi-file refactors, runs the tests, and tells me when my approach is dumb. For greenfield builds that have to ship in days, that gap is everything. Copilot still rides shotgun on small inline edits inside Cursor.
30-min call, free
Book a vibe check.
A real call with me. Not a salesperson, not a bot, not a discovery funnel. You describe what you want built, I tell you if I can ship it in the window, we either book it or we don't.
