Shifting Gears from Vibe Coding
This week, I’m dialing back on the 14-hour “vibe coding” marathons I’ve been doing lately. I’ll still sneak in a few Regardingwork Game sessions while on the road at game.regardingwork.com, but my numbers will definitely take a hit. That said, the biggest revelation from these coding sprints has been the massive learning curve. It’s like a firehose of knowledge—databases, APIs, backend development. I never thought I’d even attempt this stuff, but AI and vibe coding have been the most patient teachers I’ve ever had. Critics may doubt, but I’m tearing up with joy over how much I’ve grown.
Cross Border Summit: Ignition
Some of you have seen what I’m cooking up, and it’s all building toward a big explosion of announcements at the Seventh Annual Cross Border Summit. The theme is “Ignition,” and when I picked that name, I had no idea how epic this would become. Tickets started picking up in September, and there are still a few slots left for qualified business people. Check it out at crossbordersummit.com.
Off to China now, hopping on a regular commuter plane in a reality we’ve created in our own minds. Cheers!
