For more than two years now, I’ve been experimenting with building software tools with AI assistants.
Many people call this “vibe coding”. I’m not very fond of the term. Coding itself is not really the objective. It’s simply one of the languages we use to communicate with machines.
What matters is the system we build and the usefulness it brings.
Some thoughts about this in a short essay:

The initial setup was a bit more complicated than I expected, but the offer of 8 models for $10/month was a no-brainer.

As artists, we don't just place shapes—we place meaning. Did my portraits help build a myth?
A question that hurts but needs facing.

This approach makes text generation an iterative process, refining outputs step by step. It's like a conversation where each response gets better, enhancing speed and accuracy.
