It’s a term I’ve only recently heard and it’s something that I have spent the last month leaning into heavily. I’ve ‘created’ 12 apps to help me manage my life (both at work and outside work). I don’t know how I feel about that term however. Vibe sounds like I’m just jamming or it’s totally inconsequential.

These apps are in fact very important to me now as I am making decisions on how to spend money. I’m understanding my eating and drinking habits and making modifications. As a family there is no stress about what we’re eating on any given day.

Technology is intended to help you through things. Not hijack your attention or extract more money from you. How you choose to use the technology is of real consequence and for me, clarity has provided a certain amount of calmness to actions.

The only thing that I do lament is the fact that life is slower at unfolding than updates to the code.

Also, do I give 2 monkey’s about what the underlying codebase? I give as much of a monkey’s as I do in understanding the inner workings of my car engine or the electronics of my phone.

Software is going through a tremendous transformation. This is really early days of this technology, but it will transform the way we do things. There are no vibes attached.
