Using vibes to rewrite my blog

Swizec Teller describes rewriting his blog from Gatsby to TimberJS using a 'vibes' approach with AI assistance (Claude, Cursor). The old Gatsby setup took 45+ minutes to deploy, causing bit-rot. The new framework, based on React Server Components, deploys in 3 minutes and supports MDX, file-based routing, autogenerated OpenGraph images via satori-js, and server-side syntax highlighting. The author contrasts this with a painful 2019 rewrite from Wordpress to Gatsby, noting that AI allows him to work in short bursts while on paternity leave. This article is about software development, tech frameworks, and AI-assisted coding, all relevant to IT/TECHNOLOGY.
