This finale dives into the chaotic, creative, sleep-deprived world of hackathons and how they’ve evolved with AI-powered coding. Carl and John swap stories from past events, compare old-school maker culture with today’s AI-assisted workflows, and break down why hackathons are more inclusive than ever.

Episode 04-05: Vibe Coding – The Reality

Welcome back to Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks!  This is the fifth episode of Series 4, The Great Unknown, and we’re still surfing the AI wave known as vibe coding. The vibes have finally evened out and now we’re looking at the reality of what vibe coding actually is. 

This episode wraps up the Vibe Coding mini series by grounding everything in the spot where the hype meets the headaches. Carl and John dig into what sticks after the novelty wears off, what becomes part of a normal workflow, and what still manages to surprise them.

It is realistic, helpful, funny, and packed with the kind of practical insight that comes from actually using these tools instead of just talking about them. Whether you are tinkering with apps, wrestling with code, or trying not to vaporize your token budget, this episode will hit home.
