@iamtolux I've had this happen multiple times where prod signups fail but local testing worked. Especially true if you do email verification steps

Here's the quick 7-step checklist for securely getting your vibe-coded app into production:

Step 1: Push to GitHub (Private Repo). If it's not in git, it's not deployable, and it's one bad prompt away from gone.
Step 2: Run the production build locally first (npm run build). Type errors and missing imports hide here, and AI tools rarely check.
Step 3: Ensure there are no secrets in your git repo. Move every secret into env vars. They should be added to Git Ignore.
Step 4: Point the app at a production database and not your dev one.
Step 5: Add a custom domain + HTTPS (requires adding a certificate for your app).
Step 6: Ensure you have proper logging. I use BugSnag (Smartbear) in production. This will help you track production user issues and spot hackers quickly.
Step 7: Sanity check your application. Test signup, login and payments on the live URL in an incognito window. User flows that work in development testing commonly hit problems in production.

Stuck on a step? Comment below and I'll point you in the right direction 😊

Pro Tip: Don’t vibe-leak your app passwords 🔐
Storing secrets in your code is the easiest way to get hacked!

Quick prompt for you:

"Review my repo for exposed secrets, credentials, sensitive environment or configuration files, and anything else that shouldn’t be committed. Flag each finding with its file path, risk, and recommended fix."

In NYC, people start conversations with what do you do, and then from there decide if your worth talking to

I think the major thing these recent layoffs has taught us is that your job is not your identity

As promised- Here is an article to explain why Chat GPT is not Google. It explains the tools(AI vs. Search), so that anyone can understand them, which is important in making the main argument. #google # #ai #chatgpt #ml https://t.co/bQxR2Uz0mi
