- This page was originally described as a ChatGPT prompt.
- ChatGPT generated a suitable Python program to accomplish the task, but to avoid Python dependencies, the reply was refactored as an HTML page. This allows anyone to use the page without needing to install Python.
- Again, to avoid Google Dependencies, the mapping engine was switched from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap. This allows for anyone to use the page without needing a Google API key.
- The resulting code was copy-and-pasted into VS Code and opened with Augment.
- Within VS Code + Augment, this project was massaged and refactored multiple times. Ultimately, the use of the Augment AI Agent is the best way to 'vibe code.'
- The code was also pushed to GitHub: mytech-today-now/business_search.
- A separate ChatGPT prompt produced 35 business types that benefit from MSP services in Chicagoland; the reply was reformatted as a comma-separated list and re-fed into ChatGPT/Augment.
- On June 1, 2025, the code was refactored 29 times using Augment (50 total prompts to generate and refine code). Additional prompts refined and improved the final version.
- Repeately, the entire codebase was fed back into ChatGPT for further prompt generation, then re-applied in Augment. This iterative AI-driven workflow has been an extremely effective way to "vibe code. Currently, June 5, 2025, Augment does a better job of 'vibe coding' than ChatGPT with Codex"
- Additional changes were added later, such as default .xlsx export, additional file type exports [1][2], additional documentation, and stylization.
- By comparison, 15 years ago I wrote a similar program in C# over the course of four weeks (70 hours). This AI version took 3 days (10 hours) with almost zero manual effort, and is much more professional, comphrensive, interactive, and responsive.
