Vibe Coding, 150K HIVE Power, and Infinity

It's been a crazy week to say the least. My wife and I have been splitting our time between home and the hospital. It wasn't so bad when the hospital was just the next town over, but around Tuesday of last week the moved our relative down to the Detroit area which is just about a two hour drive for us. That means we have been putting a lot of miles on @mrsbozz's car. The good news is, the relative seems to be on the mend, and barring any unforeseen developments, they will hopefully be home sooner rather than later.

As you can see from the title of this post, I finally hit my goal of 150K HIVE Power. I was aiming for the end of the year to hit that goal with the hope of making it there a bit earlier. I was actually getting a bit concerned when the price started taking the drop it has, but thanks to my readers and followers, I was able to hit my goal.

Thank you to everyone who supports me and my blog, I couldn't do this without you and my account is what it is because of you.

As I was thinking about hitting that 150,000 HP milestone, I started reflecting on my HIVE journey as a whole and I decided to play around with a bit of vibe coding to have it create a historic HIVE Power tracker. It's pretty amazing what you can do with AI coding these days. I started off in Claude, but I hit my five hour message limit, so then I switched over to the Google AI Studio.

After putting in my prompt, it was able to come up with something in about five to ten minutes. The availability of the HIVE API makes it pretty easy to pull any kind of data from the chain. I know there are people who have made all kinds of data gathering tools with AI lately, but it's honestly so easy, there isn't much reason you can't just do it yourself.

After a few more prompts, I was able to have it add some things I wanted and take away some other things. I had the project add points on the graph anytime a power down took place. As you can see from my graph, that has never happened, something I am quite proud of.

The only thing I haven't been able to do yet is figure out how to pull the code out of the platform and make it available to everyone. There does seem to be a way to publish it, but you have to pay to do that. I'd rather not pay, but I'm honestly not sure how many people would use this tool anyway. Like I said, it is pretty easy to create your own. If anything, I figure this is just a good way for me to dip my toes into the world of AI. I'm starting to realize, as much as I don't care about AI, I also don't want to put my head in the sand and not at least be educated on it.

I was talking to my sister the other day and she confided in the family that she recently found out she was getting let go from her job after 15 years. There were a variety of reasons for this that I won't get into here, but one of the main ones was that her company is currently working on an AI to do many of the tasks she used to do.

I still think there is going to be a period of huge growth where jobs are cut followed by a slow move back to humans in some positions where they realize AI just doesn't work, but only time will tell.

My buddy was at a charity event a while ago and he saw this really cool keg that made him think of me, so he bid on it and when he actually won it he decided to give it to me for my 50th birthday. He then took it one step further and used a wood burning tool to put my nickname on the side of it. It took me a while to get to it, but I decided to turn the keg into what they call an "infinity bottle". Basically, you take all of your whiskey or bourbon and when you have just a little bit left in a bottle, you pour those together into one bottle to make your own special blend called an infinity bottle.

So I grabbed a few of my bottles that were getting kind of low with just one or two pours left in them and I decided to get my "infinity barrel" started. Obviously, it is important to try to keep things kind of similar when you are doing this. Putting a wheated whiskey in with a bourbon probably wouldn't be a huge mistake, but you definitely wouldn't want to mix a bourbon with a Scotch, or an American Single Malt. However, you probably could mix a Scotch with an American Single Malt, they have similar flavor profiles.

I've still got a long way to go before the barrel is filled, but I am looking forward to enjoying my first pour from it and seeing how it turns out. It's a pretty cool idea and the barrel itself is going to be an awesome conversation piece on our counter. I consider myself lucky to have such thoughtful friends. Though they may be few, I cherish my friendship with each of them, just as I cherish my connections with my followers here on HIVE.

I still haven't tried this vibe coding stuff. I didn't initially realise that you created that stats tool, but it is impressive. I need to play with this stuff if I can up with a project and I'd be looking for free tools to try it out. I do own a web site that could possibly host anything I make.

Congrats on your HP achievement, @bozz.

AI has changed our lives in so many ways, and it’s just so cool that we can use it to bring some of our own ideas to life.

The idea of an Infinity Barrel is really interesting! Unfortunately, I’ve been having some issues with alcohol sensitivity lately, so I rarely drink hard liquor anymore. Otherwise, I might give it a try myself.

congrats for the 150000hp its a big goal i only have 1000hp and i feeling so good :D

This is the first time I've heard of an “infinity barrel,” but it's actually a pretty good idea :) Hmm, I was just tidying up and found quite a few bottles with leftover spirits—some from friends who make their own (there are quite a few people here who do that) and some of my own. I should find a barrel like that so I can start pouring them in. Unlike you, I’d mix all the brandies together, since they’re old anyway—some more than ten years old—and a small oak barrel would give them some character over the years 😎 Congrats on 150K!

awwwww well done!!! That's great news.

and love the little barrel i had a nice whisky last night while i was painting a daily painting for the Hive blog. Not one ive had before but i raided my husbands collection. (he is in NZ at a conference) its called Old Durbar. Anyway never had it before.

Hope your little whisky barrel is delicious :-)

150k is a huge feat amd accomplishment. Good for you!

The whiskey barrel is very cool idea. Thats fun! It would be really neat if you could find some unaged whiskey and barrel age it yourself.

Congrats on the 150k @bozz you deserve it. Hope your relative is better and sorry to hear your sister got left go. Just on your project . You should set up a vercel account and just deploy your code. it goes onto one of the free vercel domains and it is then live on the internet and it costs nothing. But the code should be living in a local folder anyway so you don't need to pull it or publish it so I'm confused a bit on why it costs money to download it etc

Congratulations! And great job on Vibe coding, now you are up to date for 2025 😀 You can share your stuff for free via Vercel.

Now you should try Agentic spec driven development.

What a great way to celebrate 150K HP, with a personalized whiskey barrel! You have very thoughtful and creative friends to get you such a birthday gift! 🙂

Seeing posts from veterans about their HP journey always fills me with so much joy and motivation. I have discovered for myself that powering up on Hive is where real growth begins — I have seen and felt it in my own curating and voting feedback. So it is always a pleasure to come across posts like this. Congratulations 🎉👏 @bozz on your drive towards reaching 150k on your powering-up journey! More wins ahead for you on Hive.

Congratulations on reaching the 150,000 HP milestone.

By the way, I'm curious what it's like once your infinity bottle is full after blending various types of spirits.
