Welcome to the second episode of Series 4 of Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks! Yes, it’s been a minute, but we’re back with five great episodes to finish out the series, The Great Unknown, as we continue down the AI road with a focus on vibe coding.

What happens when coding meets pure creative flow? In this episode, Carl and John kick off the Vibe Coding mini-series by unpacking what it really means to “code with vibes.” From low-code nostalgia to full-blown AI coding buddies, they explore how tools like Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT are changing the way we build fast, messy, and sometimes magical code.

They share real stories from the front lines: vibe-coding a Dynamo package, watching apps evolve live on stream, and hitting the “AI slop” wall when things look right but fail spectacularly. It’s honest, funny, and surprisingly relatable for anyone who’s ever shipped a prototype at 2 a.m. and called it “done.”

Whether you’re an AECO pro dabbling in automation or a curious coder chasing that hackathon high, this episode breaks down the hype, the hazards, and the human side of building with AI.
