Same with me - late 90s. Celeron 366Mz, 64 MB RAM, 4.3 GB HDD. Don't remember the video card and the sound card. Used to stay up all night to try and fix X11. And once you got it running - victory !!!

With RAM becoming expensive, developers will have no choice but to make memory efficient software.

I have used mostly gemini (antigravity). I do one feature at a time. If antigravity says I have run out of tokens then I come back 24 hours later. :-)

I have been prompting and building a pos[1] for fun. I have been improving it bit by bit. I will also admit that I have not looked at the code that AI tools have generated. I let AI test it and the AI also finds bugs and fixes it.

Its a fun project, all done using free tier.

I wonder how they are defining a power user. How many tokens, what could be the size the code base?

Building a boring POS (1) using various AI tools just to check what can I do with these tools. I have used claude, gemini and now using antigravity. I have not done a single edit manually.

I got it all done in probably an hour or two. But done in 10-15 min blocks over many days.

You won't regret. I have been using debian for last 25 years on and off and for last 8 years non stop. I have no complains.

I have built a POS for restaurants. 100% vibe coded.

Don't think so. The issue is probably with drivers. The crash does not happen when software rendering is used.

I was using KDE, but with Debian 13 upgrade kwin crashes with every alt-tab. Had to switch to cinnamon.

I run Ryzen 3200G.
