Vibe coding is a hilarious term, and I don’t have a better alternative, but thanks to Claude Code, I’ve been having a lot of fun lately doing an impression of a software developer.
Since you’re dying to know, here are a few highlights:
- I created a web-based version of my resume, inspired by a friend’s.
- I built a website for my talent development consulting brand, which I was delighted with until I discovered that it follows a fairly standard Claude design template. Yikes. Link withheld to preserve my dignity.
- I created a utility that cross-posts my latest blog post to LinkedIn, including logic that appends any hyperlinks mentioned in the post, gracefully truncates posts that exceed the LinkedIn API’s three thousand-character limit, and includes a link to continue reading.
I knocked out some design tweaks to my website that no one will notice, but that make me happy, and the upshot is that I’ve been publishing a lot more.
Relatedly, a friend recently plugged my site into her RSS reader and didn’t see any updates past 2014 (!). I did some digging and discovered the setting and the outdated configuration were to blame.
So if you woke up to a slew of new posts from me for the first time since the iPhone 6 was announced, it’s nice to see you 🫠
