Engineer with too many ideas.

First principles for the fix, vibe creation for the rest.

Who

Hi, I’m Armand.

I’m just an engineer. Vibe coding finally lets me build the things I always wanted to build, without time getting in the way.

Ideas are cheap; speed without taste is cheap too. The rare part is finding a path nobody else takes, then shipping it.

I write on X first. The code lives on GitHub.

Now

Building in public: small tools that solve real problems, each live on its own subdomain. Writing X Articles about what I learn along the way.

Working on

  1. Almost Christmas A live countdown to 25 December in Dutch, English, Spanish and Chinese. Why I built it Live
  2. StartPage A fast, minimal browser start page with search, AI and your own links. Why I built it Live

Execution is a moat. The one that’s harder to outsource to AI is human creativity and ingenuity. Ideas are cheap. Speed without taste is also cheap. The rare combo is inventing a path others wouldn’t take then shipping it.

Being right too early looks exactly like being wrong. Organizations don’t punish bad warnings. They punish inconvenient timing.
