📝 Featured Reads

Stay in the loop with standout articles from the world of AI, coding, and tech trends.

Addy Osmani’s “Prompt Engineering Playbook for Programmers” is a super handy guide for getting the most out of AI coding tools. It breaks down easy-to-follow techniques like giving step-by-step instructions or setting clear roles for the AI, so it actually helps instead of confusing you.

The NPR article "Anyone can use AI chatbots to 'vibe code.' Could that put programmers out of a job?" talks about vibe coding and how this new trend is impacting product development and coding jobs. It gives an example of how the San Francisco-based startup BOND got a working version of a new online productivity manager and website up and running in less than a day.

Pete Koomen's essay "AI Horseless Carriages" explores how early artificial intelligence applications often replicate outdated user interface (UI) designs, much like the first automobiles that resembled horse-drawn carriages. He argues that these AI tools are constrained by legacy design patterns and fail to leverage the unique capabilities of modern technology.

An article in Business Insider writes about Cynthia Chen, a product designer who built an iOS app called Dog-e-dex in just two months using vibe coding 😎. Even without formal coding skills, she turned her idea into a working app that recognizes dog breeds and lets users create collections. She says clear instructions and patience are key and believes creativity is still something only humans bring to the table.
