Byte Sized Updates about AI & Tech

​

​

The Byte is back! After a bit of a hiatus I decided the 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.

🧑‍💻 Vibe Coding 101: Build with AI, Not Against It

Coding isn't dying — it's evolving. Andrew Ng teams up with Replit for a new short course on vibe coding, where AI becomes your co-pilot in creating web apps. No deep coding chops? No problem. This course teaches you how to prompt, prototype, and publish with the help of generative AI. The future of software isn't solo — it's symbiotic.

Moon setting on the alps and 2020

Byte Sized Updates about Containers, Cloud & Tech I took the above picture this morning (New Years Eve) of the moon setting behind the Swiss Alps and on 2020 (It pays to get up early).
