I have been looking at ways to burn less tokens and use AI for free to code.
- Sign in with multiple accounts to V0 and work on small components.
- Use Perplexity for small reformatting or functionality changes, eg make the data in this array into a switch statement
- Occasonally use V0 for generating UI, it seems to be better / cheaper / faster than bolt.new at NEXT.js (no evidence to back that up.
- Save bolt.new for actually making components
Anyway, overall I still think I’m faster with this aid, it scours stack overflow and gets roughly there in 100x faster than me googling. Here are some of the typical nonsense answers and mistakes the AI constantly makes… they are relatively easy to spot.
Yo Claude, just tell me if I can I deploy a Github organisation repo to Vercel from for free or not, i remember vaguely that maybe i couldn’t before…
Being a bit vague in what I was asking:
Q: “vercel has a limitation on free deployments for repos in organisations, is that a private github repos or public repos?”
AI: Vercel’s free plan (Hobby) has limitations on deployments, but these are not specifically tied to whether the GitHub repository is private or public.
.. bla bla bla
Moving to an Organization
If you move your personal repository into an organization, you will still be subject to the Hobby plan’s limitations unless you upgrade to a paid plan.
Q: “has there historically been a limitation requiring me to move repos to a personal github account rather than organisation?”
AI: Vercel has had limitations on deploying organization repositories for free. Specifically, deploying an organization repository requires a paid plan (Pro or Enterprise), as the Hobby plan does not support organization repositories for free deployments.
Q: is that still the case?
AI: Yes, it is still the case that Vercel does not support deploying repositories owned by GitHub organizations under the free Hobby plan.
Q: so which of your statements is true?
AI:
Clarification
Historical Limitation: In the past, Vercel did have restrictions on deploying organization repositories under the free Hobby plan. However, I do not have specific details on whether this limitation was strictly enforced or if there were exceptions.
Current Policy: As of now, Vercel’s documentation does not explicitly state that organization repositories cannot be deployed under the Hobby plan. However, it does mention that Hobby accounts can connect up to three GitHub repositories, without specifying whether these must be personal or can include organization repositories.
Q: can you double check if hobby plan can be used by organisations
AI:
The Vercel Hobby plan does not support deploying repositories owned by GitHub organizations directly. According to Vercel’s documentation and user guides, organization repositories require a paid plan (Pro or Enterprise) for automated deployments.
Key Points
Hobby Plan Limitation: The Hobby plan is designed for personal projects and does not support organization repositories for automated deployments.
Rage at both Claude and Vercel. I didn’t even want to ask about the hobby plan specifically, I wanted to know if I could deploy for free on Vercel with an Organisation hosted repo, whatever package that is.
Q: How do i use next/font with fonts with spaces in the name?
Was being too lazy to read docs, all the examples have single words here.
AI: Option 1: Using Google Fonts
-
Import the Font:
Unfortunately, Plus Jakarta Sans is not available on Google Fonts. However, if it were, you would import it like this:
import { Plus_Jakarta_Sans } from 'next/font/google';
