I’m not sure where this might go in a post like this, but it strikes me that the main thing you’re missing is pre-commit slash github/workflows. Linters, tests and checks are a good way to make almost any language opinionated, and result in far less slopware. I’m actually of the opinion that iterating on CI jobs until everything passes is the main thing that vibe coding’s detractors are missing.

Oh I use those extensively and talk about it in the course, it just didn't really fit in this topic area. That's a great idea for a separate piece

This is a definitive roundup! GPT Codex for deep work, Claude for speed, Grok for free, and Conductor/Factory for multi-agent orchestration. Pairing these with Next.js or Laravel isn’t just convenience, it’s a system for scaling AI-assisted development with confidence.
