Thanks for keeping that service up and running! I think it’s been about 10 years since I found it and it’s been my go-to reference ever since. I’ll often get laughs from people when I share it as reference.
I’ve been building my wife a budget tracking dashboard for reporting on PPC ad campaigns.
At any given time, she’s working with any number of clients (directly or subcontracted, solo or as part of a team) who each have multiple, simultaneous marketing campaigns across any number of channels (google/meta/yelp/etc), each of which is running with different parameters. She spends a good amount of time simply aggregating data in spreadsheets for herself and for her clients.
Surprisingly we haven’t been able to find an existing service that fits her needs, so here I am.
It’s been fun for me to branch out a bit with my technology selections, focusing more on learning new things I want to learn over what would otherwise be the most practical (within reason) or familiar.
In addition to not enjoying it, I also don’t learn anything, and I think that makes it difficult to sustain anything in the middle of the spectrum between “I won’t even look at the code; vibes only” and advanced autocomplete.
My experience has been that it’s difficult to mostly vibe with an agent, but still be an active participant in the codebase. That feels especially true when I’m using tools, frameworks, etc that I’m not already familiar with. The vibing part of the process simultaneously doesn’t provide me with any deeper understanding or experience to be able to help guide or troubleshoot. Same thing for maintaining existing skills.
