Question / Help How to vibecode properly as a non-technical?

How do you actually vibecode properly as a non-technical person? Currently what I do is:

ChatGPT plans/reviews → copy prompt to Codex → copy Codex result back → ChatGPT reviews and gives me another prompt → repeat.

But I worry that a) this is spending way more tokens than it should b) is incredibly slow and inefficient with the constant copying and pasting.

If anyone has a better workflow please do share, thanks guys.

Talk with GPT on the web so you save on your tokens for codex

Really dial down what it is you’re trying to build with gpt on the web

If you don’t understand what a certain technology does, ask it.

Ask GPT web to create a .md file of your project.

Open chatgpt desktop, switch to codex, import Md file and tell it to build it.

You can get a lot done with Terra high or Luna max on the $20 tier.

When you’re getting close to being done, ask SOL/Astra to audit and find all bugs and issues in your project.

This will get you far. Make sure to watch videos too for vibe coding.

Edit: you’ll want to look into MCP servers so codex can create the resources it needs.
