Your AI coding assistant can build 80% of your app in a weekend. The other 20% is where things go wrong — your app breaks, gets hacked, or the AI quietly forgets what it was doing halfway through.

The Vibe-Coder's Reality Check is the field guide I wish someone had handed me before AI coding tools got this good. After 25+ years building software the traditional way, I've watched "vibe coding" turn total beginners into shipping developers overnight — and watched just as many of them get stranded the moment things start breaking.

This isn't a lecture about learning to code "the right way." It's a short, plainspoken survival guide for the last 20% — the part your AI tool won't tell you about.

Inside, you'll learn:

• Why your AI assistant "forgets" its own code halfway through a project (hint: it has a memory bucket, and it's smaller than you think)

• How a one-page spec file stops your app's architecture from quietly falling apart

• How to escape the Infinite Debug Loop when your AI keeps handing you the same broken fix

• The five checks that separate "it works on my machine" from "it's safe to launch"

• Why a kid named "Little Bobby Tables" should scare you more than any bug report

If you're building an app with Claude, Cursor, Gemini, or ChatGPT — or you're a working developer trying to figure out what these tools are actually good for — this book will save you from learning the hard way.

Stop vibe-coding blind. Grab your copy and get your app past the 80/20 Trap.

Karma is a test runner for JavaScript that runs on Node.js. It is very well suited to testing AngularJS or any other JavaScript projects. Using Karma to run tests using one of many popular JavaScript testing suites (Jasmine, Mocha, QUnit, etc.) and have those tests executed not only in the browsers of your choice, but also on the platform of your choice (desktop, phone, tablet.)
