While everyone’s debating how AI will replace developers and throwing around unverifiable metrics about “AI writing 70% of our code,” I’m watching something different happen. We’re not reducing headcount. Instead, as an example, if you had a team of 5 developers before, you now effectively have a team of 10 with AI as pair programmers. … Read more
So here’s the thing – I had to hit pause on my vibe coding project for a hot minute. Not because I wanted to, but because my life had become this beautiful disaster of scattered tasks, forgotten deadlines, and that nagging feeling that I was always forgetting something important. You know that feeling, right? When … Read more
So I hadn’t posted last week, but there’s somewhat of a good reason. Life struck! Last Wednesday evening we lost AC, and in Florida, that is not what you want as we enter into June. So the “fun” began to find an AC company to come out and look to see what had broken, whether … Read more
So I’ve spent another week “vibe coding” on my SaaS platform. You know that old phrase “one step forward, two steps back”? Yeah, it’s been living rent-free in my head lately. If you’re new here, “vibe coding” is what I call this new approach where I let AI do a lot of the heavy lifting … Read more
What happens when an experienced developer steps back and lets AI do all the coding? I’ve been “vibe coding” for a week now—directing AI to build a SaaS platform while not writing a single line of code myself.

It hasn’t been all smooth sailing, but this AI-powered approach is changing everything about how I build software. Come along for the ride as I document this strange new coding journey!
It is one thing to parent your children when they are toddlers and as they reach their teens. Beyond that, the game changes! The relationship evolves from authority figure to something more nuanced, requiring new skills and perspectives that no parenting book truly prepares you for. I still remember the day when both of my … Read more
After months of debating and researching, I finally pulled the trigger on a 2024 Harley-Davidson Softail Standard. This sleek, powerful beauty has already carried me through 500 miles of back roads and city streets, each ride confirming I made the right choice. The Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine purrs perfectly, the handling surprises at every corner, and I can’t stop stealing glances at its classic lines whenever I park. Sometimes the best decisions come after the longest deliberations.
I’ve been away from the keyboard for a while now—I’ll admit it, I’ve slacked. A lot! While life has thrown its usual curveballs, I’ve come to realize that those busy, chaotic moments are actually when I should be sharing the most. Those are the times that truly reflect what this blog is all about. From … Read more
The Beginning So, my journey to become a YouTube “star” has begun. Well, not exactly yet, as I am doing my normal over-research and hesitating on how I want to approach making videos, the content, and whether I will be on camera. But I have taken the steps to start the outlines of my first … Read more
