I used it like a senior engineer sitting next to me. Here's how I built a full production website without knowing Next.js, and what "vibe coding" actually looks like when you do it right.

The numbers tell a story that the AI industry mostly avoids having. Here they are.

The Kaggle Titanic dataset became the proving ground. This post covers what it proved, what it did not, and how Ubunye compares to existing frameworks.

The thesis is simple: finishing is rarer than starting, and the boring work is what separates a repository from a product.
