Welcome back to Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks! This is the fifth episode of Series 4, The Great Unknown, and we’re still surfing the AI wave known as vibe coding. The vibes have finally evened out and now we’re looking at the reality of what vibe coding actually is.
This episode wraps up the Vibe Coding mini series by grounding everything in the spot where the hype meets the headaches. Carl and John dig into what sticks after the novelty wears off, what becomes part of a normal workflow, and what still manages to surprise them.
It is realistic, helpful, funny, and packed with the kind of practical insight that comes from actually using these tools instead of just talking about them. Whether you are tinkering with apps, wrestling with code, or trying not to vaporize your token budget, this episode will hit home.
And don’t forget to check out the companion blog on TheBIMsider.com: Vibe Coding: The Reality.
The vibes settled, the reality landed, and yes, AI helped tidy up this write up. 🤖🛠️

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
