You don’t need a hoodie, a MacBook, or 20 years in tech to build something dope with AI.
All you need is a spark, some taste, and the nerve to break the damn rules.

When you’re coding on the vibe, it’s like jumping into a time machine — you drop 20, maybe 30 years off your back and start moving like nothing can stop you.
I didn’t start coding to ride some hype wave. Hell, I didn’t even know “vibe coding” was a thing when I wrote my first AI-assisted script.

So let me set the stage. You gotta know who you’re dealing with.

👴 Not Your Usual Tech Bro

Most AI users today are young — like, TikTok-young. I’m not. I’m from a different time. My parents danced through Woodstock, blasted The Mamas & The Papas and Joe Dassin on vinyl, and threw slogans around like “Bombing for peace is like f***ing for virginity.”

That generation raised mine — Generation X.

A kind of X generation in the 80s, the years of their youth. The era is not depicted accurately, but a kind of resemblance exists.

We’re the ones who grew up while the digital revolution was still in beta. Some of us now have kids… some even grandkids. Most Gen Xers split into two tribes:

• 🧱 The builders: worked hard their whole life, gave their kids a shot at something better, and are now counting down to retirement.

• 💼 The moguls: made it big, now run global companies, toss around buzzwords, and let AI fatten their bank accounts with a few more commas.

But there’s a third tribe.
My tribe.
The ones who look at AI and say: “Damn. This thing could unlock all kinds of creative madness.”

🧵 From Sysadmin to Plush Revolution

My background? Hardcore IT. Old-school sysadmin — back when “DevOps” was just called “doing everything.”
Picture the dude from Silicon Valley sweating in the data center — yeah, that was me. Until 2014.

That year, my kid had a wild idea. He came to my wife, who sews like a wizard, and said:
“Let’s make countryballs. Like, real plush ones.”

Next thing I knew, our whole family was crafting the first plush countryballs in human history.

Designs, calculations, recalculations (oh, those stretchy fabrics…), hand-sewn emblems — all to get perfect spheres instead of stuffed pumpkins. I built formulas to handle the tolerances. It was weirdly beautiful.

But eventually, the sewing needed tech. We hired coders to build a modeling tool — custom software that could take in all variables and spit out perfect sewing patterns. Our son turned that data into precise 3D models, which were then flattened into printable 2D layouts.

And here’s the twist:
Back then, AI couldn’t help.
We were on our own — elbow-deep in math, fabric, and frustration. Neural networks were still drawing melting cats and psychedelic eyeballs.

💾 Enter Vibe Coding

Fast forward to one morning this March.

I needed to create a bootable ISO from a Rufus-modded USB stick — dual boot, Legacy + UEFI. Sounded easy. Wasn’t. I tried everything. Every tool failed at some point.

So I asked GPT, straight up:

“How do I create an ISO from this flash drive using only Windows tools?”

Boom. GPT pointed me to Microsoft’s ADK Deployment Kit. Terminal-based. Pure wizardry.
It worked. I had my ISO.

I showed it to my son. He just smirked and said:

“Why don’t you vibe-code a tool for that?”

And that’s when it hit. I didn’t stumble into vibe coding — I lived my way into it.

In a few days, I built Flash2ISO — a full GUI utility that does it all: scans, copies, builds, logs, and celebrates success in green. Seeing that progress bar hit 100%? Felt like flying.

Flash2ISO GUI — minimal, clean, powerful.

🛠️ What’s Next in the Lab

I’m not here to flex prompt syntax or argue model sizes.
I’m here to build — with AI as my co-pilot.

Right now, I’m polishing two new tools:

1. Advanced DDoS Blocker — a GUI app for Windows Server that eats UDP floods for breakfast.

 

1. DeepSeek Local Kit — run DeepSeek Coder V2 on your own rig with a slick web UI and full SSE support. No cloud. Just raw local power.

SSE server

Talk to DeepSeek over your LAN like a boss.

🧬 Where It’s All Headed

The endgame? I want to train custom behavioral models using DeepSeek + LoRA, maybe even quantization. Expensive stuff — might start in Google Colab.

But this blog? It’s not about theory. It’s a live feed of what I’m building, breaking, fixing, and reimagining — with AI by my side.

And yeah, English isn’t my native tongue. I write, then run it through my AI editor like a vibe-powered Grammarly. Sometimes I take a sip of dry red wine just to reset the brain.

Because vibe coding isn’t about messy hacks.
It’s about moving with rhythm, intuition, and joy.
This space — this blog — is my playground.
