• Vibe Coding: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

  This week we host our friends Bobak Farzin and Kevin Fahey to talk about their experiences building applications with AI tools.  Both Bob and Kevin are very tech savvy in different ways, but neither is a full-time software developer.  Yet both have had good experiences building functional applications with tools like Cursor and Claude Code.  We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these tools, and the challenges that Bob and Kevin found in building their own software.“Andrej Karpathy: Software Is Changing (Again)”Vibe scraping and vibe coding a schedule app for Open Sauce 2025 entirely on my phone“Will the future of software development run on vibes?” Ars TechnicaSend us a text
