2025
The Year of Vibe Coding
From product person to vibe engineer.
AI enabled me to do things
I couldn't imagine a
year ago.
Everything sped up in 2025
AI in my hand evolved from helping me proofread, to searching and answering questions, to creating images and videos, to generating over 100-page long documents and polishing them into decks and websites, to enabling me to ship software for myself and others.
