I Need Coffee - Episode 191 - Weekly BC Review! (Nov 28, 2025)

1. Thanksgiving Vibes
   - Happy post-Thanksgiving (yesterday in US); wearing a turkey hat with Santa legs; overate like everyone.

2. AL Vibe Coding Launch & Speedrun
   - Debuted new live stream: "AL Vibe Coding" (inspired by Andrej Karpathy quote); chill, Bob Ross-style with custom analog TV theme (AI-generated CRT for visuals).
   - Monday speedrun: Built full BC extension (real project) in 6 hours vs quoted 28 dev hours; added extras like auto-data gen, Excel export, logging.
   - Full speed ahead: Laundry list of topics; GitHub Copilot Workspace updates (e.g., auto-fixing errors, multi-file edits).

3. Tech Woes & Rants
   - Windows boot failure (black screen + cursor; 1-hour fix).
   - AI bloat: Rumor of AI/tables/formatting in Notepad → "game over for Windows."
   - Shy Hallude malware: Infected 500-800 npm packages via GitHub compromises; Node.js security "dumpster fire" (concerns for BC MCP servers).

4. Project Troubleshooting & Opportunities
   - 3 days debugging registration/license system error → vibe code overhaul needed (new dashboard, telemetry).
   - 1099 changes in BC27: Complete overhaul; Ronald becoming team expert via vibe-coded code analysis (26 vs 27 diffs).

5. Berlin, El Salvador Invasion & Team Updates
   - "Two blondes" (Tanya Henderson + Shannon Mullins, BC MVP) visited: Toured ERP Center of Excellence, met team; first official visitor.
   - Joselyn: Fighting config packages; vibe-coded bulk delete tool; starting MB800.
   - David: Config packages for new impls; SOD expert (hit limits on customer craziness); MB800.
   - Ronald: 1099 war room lead; helping Berlin English Academy grads with RSM trainee apps (English exams, resumes, typing).
   - Franklin: Vibe coding master; rapid partner dashboard progress (defer upgrades button).
   - Fatima: Submitted PMP application (50+ hours study); wrapping Elco Christmas Festival (Dec 13-14); applied for El Salvador DUG.

6. Berlin English Academy & Nearshore Wins
   - 4 grads applying to RSM US El Salvador trainee program (9-10 weeks, Sat sessions; exposure to depts like BC, cyber, IT).
   - EF EPI 2025: El Salvador #2 in Central America, #5 in Latin America for English proficiency; ideal nearshore (US time zones, USD, safe).

7. Q&A / Misc
   - Hyperpolyglot Von Smith: Speaks 24 languages fluently (learned via random encounters); brain scan shows unique activity; day job: carpet cleaner (amazing YouTube vid by Ali Richards).

TL;DR: Post-Thanksgiving turkey hat fun; launched AL Vibe Coding stream + 6-hour speedrun miracle; Windows/AI rants; npm malware scare; Berlin "invasion" by Tanya/Shannon; team vibe coding 1099s/configs; English Academy grads eyeing RSM; El Salvador English proficiency rising. Vibe code or bust!
