The Byte is Back with Vibe Coding!!

The Byte is back! After a bit of a hiatus, I decided to relaunch The Byte. My goal is to keep the newsletter fresh, engaging, and byte-sized.

I'm open to feedback and ideas to help restart The Byte community.

Happy Friday, and let's Vibe Code into the weekend.
