I have no desire to be or a tough guy or YouTube creator. But I do hope to build great software products with great people. And with the advent of GenAI and agents, there’s really no better time to do so. The tools and new products with GenAI is truly magical. It’s like if living in the Harry Potter universe when the wizards and witches started figuring out how to cast magic spells.
These developments are really exciting but so far I’ve built … 0 apps using GenAI tools. While I’d love to say I’m a GenAI coding ace, I’m not. And as far as I can tell there’s only one way to get there: build, aka “vibe code”, 100 apps. [1]
This blog will be straightforward: each post will be a product I built and what I learned along the way. Most people who read this post will read nothing else and move on with their lives. A smaller group of people will read this post, look at one of my projects, conclude this is stupid, and move on with their lives.
But a small portion of you may find this fun. Some of you may even learn something. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll work together someday to build something wonderful.
If you’ve made it this far, hopefully you’re intrigued, but if not, please don’t be a dick on the way out. And for the rest of you … Let’s. Fucking. Go.
The Vibe 100
Below is the running list of the apps I’ve built so far using GenAI tools. I also included the logo to this blog since I made that using ChatGPT.

[1] I’ve witnessed a lot of great rebrands (ex: crypto becoming “web3”) but I have to say rebranding “hacking” as “vibe coding” may be the best. This meme captures that.
