This week’s 10 Things spans from fashion icons to failed AI hype cycles. We look at the critical backlash against “vibe coding,” explore what Armani meant for Italian chic, and share our own work transforming Skytree’s digital presence with MACH architecture. Plus: a sharp AI leadership report, reflections on humane tech, and why productivity doesn’t always equal progress.
Enjoy, Your Majesty
1. The Vibe Coding Mirage
A sharp critique from Microsoft’s Suff Syed on why vibe coding is more hype than reality. AI demos wow, but 95% of enterprise pilots fail, a cautionary tale for sustainable product building.
We explain how MACH architecture (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) creates scalable, flexible experiences and why we applied it to Skytree’s platform.
If AI makes developers 10x more productive, why aren’t we seeing 10x more software? A thoughtful dive into productivity paradoxes and missing outcomes.
“Elegance is not about being noticed, it’s about being remembered.”
— Giorgio Armani
