I’ve been coding with AI for a while now, using it across a variety of projects.

Lately, there’s been a lot of noise around the idea of “vibe coding.” You’ve probably seen the posts:

I vibe-coded this app over the weekend… developers are cooked!

It’s the kind of hype cycle we see every time a shiny new tool or paradigm shows up in tech. And to be fair, AI really can accelerate development in ways that feel borderline magical. It’s a thrilling moment to be part of.

But let’s be clear: most of what people are showing off right now are demos, prototypes, or MVPs. AI agents today aren’t building complete businesses, shipping full platforms, or replacing developers. Yet.

As things are today, vibe coding works great in the early phases of a project, when speed and experimentation matter most.

As some of you know, my daughter Evie was born with a heart defect. We spent the first few weeks of her life in the hospital at UCSF where the specialists there performed open heart surgery on her when she was less than two weeks old.

The Hope Flight Foundation is a an organization that flies terminally ill children and their families to hospitals and treatment centers around the country so they are able to get the best care, even if it is far from home. The organization also does "make a wish" flights so sick children are able to go to Disneyland, etc... This is a wonderful cause!
