Version control is one of the most essential skills for anyone creating software, yet it is often ignored by vibe coders who are moving quickly through prototypes. Good version control lets you track your progress, experiment safely, recover from mistakes, and collaborate without losing work. This article explains what version control is, why it matters, and the basic workflows every vibe coder should understand.
Struggling to prove the ROI of your AI investments? You’re not alone. The difference isn’t better technology or bigger budgets—it’s better measurement. And measuring AI ROI requires a fundamentally different approach than traditional IT projects.
Many vibe coders discover too late that their prototype only works on their machine. Hardcoded URLs, missing environment variables, or (worst of all) secret keys in source code make scaling and sharing a nightmare. This article breaks down configuration management and secrets handling in a way that’s accessible for non-developers building AI prototypes.
The gap between AI ambition and business results is wide. Organizations announce AI initiatives and pilot promising technologies, yet struggle to translate efforts into sustained business value. The problem isn’t technology capability. Instead the problem is approach: treating AI as a technology initiative rather than strategic business capability, pursuing automation for its own sake rather than solving documented problems, and implementing without rigor required to deliver sustained value.
Responding to RFPs and creating business proposals consumes substantial time and resources: sales teams, subject matter experts, and proposal specialists spend 20-60 hours per response, often under tight deadlines. Yet 60-80% of content is reused or adapted from previous responses. The challenge isn’t creating content from scratch; it’s finding relevant previous content, adapting it appropriately, ensuring consistency, and assembling everything cohesively.
Fast AI prototypes are great, until something goes wrong and you have no idea why. Logging and observability are the tools that give you insight into what your prototype is actually doing. This article explains the essentials for vibe coders: how to capture meaningful logs, choose logging levels, track critical metrics, and monitor AI model outputs or API calls.
When incidents disrupt operations (service outages, application errors, performance degradations) organizations scramble through chaos: multiple people asking the same questions in different channels, engineers manually reviewing logs trying to correlate events, status updates requiring manual synthesis, root cause analysis consuming hours of investigation. The business cost is substantial.
Error handling is one of the most important (but least talked about) skills for AI builders who aren’t traditional software developers. When your app relies on multiple APIs, LLMs, or external services, something will eventually go wrong. A good engineering mindset doesn’t try to avoid errors; it plans for them. In this article, we break down error handling in simple, practical terms designed specifically for no-code and low-code AI creators.
Contracts govern business relationships, yet most organizations manage obligations through manual, ad-hoc processes: legal teams maintain spreadsheets tracking renewal dates, procurement sets calendar reminders, department heads try to remember vendor SLAs. This fragmented approach creates persistent problems.
