Vibe-coded apps are exploding. A ton of folks are releasing in the new year. :-)

The funny part is majority of them look the same. Its easy to tell when an app was built by a team of devs vs generated by AI.

We need some variety in AI ui-ux.

What a ride this year has been! In May I was laid off from MSFT. Soon after became a #DockerCaptain, landed a new role at @Jamf leading #Azure + #AKS, & now I’ve been re-awarded a #MicrosoftMVP for the 11th year!

Honored to be back. Congrats to all new & renewed MVPs!
