I already hate the term ‘vibe coding’.


Can't we come up with another term?


-Conversational engineer? (wanky)

-AI Product Architect? (kind or right, but boring)

-Code whisperer? (also wanky, please don't ever, ever call me this 🤣)


Seriously, though... The term 'vibe coding' works for smaller projects and apps... but it doesn't quite sum it up for large-scale development.


An honest timeline of building Ghostart to get to the point of launch next week on 21 November:

-An entire year of very long days and weekends, building and refining.

-2 failed attempts at building Ghostart the year before, both aborted in abject fury (good learning curve for coding with AI, though!)

-30+ years of business experience training people to communicate online, marketing, managing development teams, writing content, editing copy (and writing 3 bestselling novels).

-3 months in beta, learning what features users actually want, use and don't use


Does the term 'vibe coding' undersell the craft? But what *should* we call ourselves if not vibe coders?

Is AI recommending your business?

When people ask ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI who to use, most businesses never come up — even ones that rank well on Google. Ghostart finds the questions you're missing from, then helps you win them with content that sounds like you, not like everyone else.
