About this listen

In this episode I walk through how I used Claude Code to check off the second item on my AI wishlist: a custom dashboard for my 1:1 messaging coaching clients. I cover the planning process, the tech stack I used, and what connecting external tools like Acuity and Google Drive actually entailed. I cover what I believe to be the biggest limitations of vibe coding with AI, namely usage limits and not knowing what you don't know, and round out the episode by making the case that personal custom tech solutions are already the next big thing, just siloed to the early adopters for now.
