pierre_vannier··on Vibe engineering
Simon,

I want to reach out since I want to express my disappointment regarding this thing you write here:

"I propose we call this vibe engineering, with my tongue only partially in my cheek."

Back in march 2025, you and I had a brief convo on X about this very term that came to my mind "Vibe Engineering":

I also mentioned it in our podcast in April 2025: https://x.com/Flint_company/status/1909946181897044195

Yesterday, I pinged you on X about this "term's paternity" in your thread without any response: https://x.com/pierre_vannier/status/1975579806495293910

You and I met in AI Engineer in SF last June and we discussed for 1 hour (not about this specifically but about AI and all).

At the very least, it could be cool to mention it in your post or newsletter since, I do think this little convo on X + our talk in SF might have just planted the seed in your head for this "invention" of yours...

I don't want to stay in history books but I think it's cool to also credit people when you iterate on their idea instead of just make the thing entirely "yours"...

Best Pierre

pierre_vannier··on Stacie Taylor, Front end engineer at Zapier [audio]
After a Bachelor of Communication, she became an International Teller at Wells Fargo, then Account Manager for Social High Rise, a small Social Media agency where she evolved as Product Manager for 3 years. Stacie then became Director of Account Management Processes for 7 years in this agency, after being hired at Zapier a year and a half from now, as Customer Champion first, then as Frontend Engineer since 6 months.

She talked about her path to Tech, her life balance as a mom, The Collab Lab initiative, a collaborative, remote project practice for early career web developers. But also discrimination as a woman, how to live with impostor syndrom, role models and mentors, how to make Tech more diverse and inclusive, how Zapier and the Silicon Valley adapted to COVID-19, her greatest achievement, her preferred languages/frameworks, the need for time off to avoid burnout, and more!

Discover her inspiring and insightful story!
