Five months of vibe coding. I'm not a developer, but since May 2026, I've gone from pasting files into GitHub by hand to building a docs editor with Claude Code, all while recording daily for my English learning channels.

What I learned, what I'm seeing out there, and what I'm building next. Personal journal, episode 13.

Most of the stuff I document on my personal blog:

I'm back recording. This one's more of a memo to myself than a planned episode. It's a benchmark for where things stand after moving cities, months in build mode, and way too many ideas stacking up in my head.

Just came back. Recording. Ep. 11 is up, and there's a lot to get through, so expect a few of these back-to-back. I will officially start in 2 weeks at a higher frequency.

If you want the longer version of what's going on, that's what my blog pieterborremans.com, is for.

Episode 10. I’m taking a short break from releasing episodes to fix something I can’t keep ignoring: the sound.

After a couple of days digging into acoustic treatment, microphone setups, and room isolation, I still don’t have a clear answer for what works best in my space.

So instead of pushing forward with a setup I’m not happy with, I’m pausing to get it right. More soon.

A canceled subscription turned into something bigger. A full audit of every email address, cloud folder, and forgotten account I’ve accumulated.

In this episode, I talk about the decision to consolidate everything under one clean setup, a second podcast idea that’s been nagging at me, and why this reset feels like more than just admin cleanup.

I noticed a movie on Netflix I'd already seen somewhere else,

and that small moment made me rethink all my subscriptions. Here's what I'm cutting and why.
