This year promises to be the craziest year in technology AND the craziest year ever for me. I'm kicking it off with a brand new House of Tech website, built on Cora CMS, a brand new CMS I vibe-coded in just 20 hours from start to finish. Yes – a full CMS with the best of WordPress, Substack, Ghost, Beehiiv, and others, built into one platform that I built myself with Gemini and Cursor. The new site allows me to both publish content and newsletters directly, but also import other content I publish around the web, all in one single feed. The DNS change may not have propagated yet, but the pictures attached show the before (WordPress) and after. It's built using almost 20 years of experience in publishing, complete with using over 20 different CMS products across a range of publishers in that time. How did this happen? Three weeks ago, I met @YouWare in China, where I was introduced to the concept of Vibe Coding. In the past 3 weeks, I've built 3 major platforms, 3 mobile apps, and 3 lightweight SaaS products. I've also vibe-coded 5 different other websites, and the new House of Tech website, coupled with the new powerful yet lightweight Cora CMS, is just the start. Cora is built on a modern React stack, powered by Vercel and vibe-coded with Gemini and Cursor. Gemini is incredibly powerful and the best CTO/Architect that a single person could ask for. It still needs me to be the Product Manager – a role I have enjoyed playing – but it's ideal for bringing my dreams and plans to life. I'm still a creator, a journalist, consulting with companies on mock reviews and product roadmaps, and throwing events. Now, you can add a software developer to that list. It's an exciting time to have ideas, and I can't wait to share what else I've been working on!

Hello from Barcelona, it's #MWC25 time! First press conference for me is @honorglobal @honoruk!

If this works... And it's a big if given the current state of the smart home, it'll be a gamechanger for the home. Can't wait to test it out, and see what Google and Apple have to show later in the year!

My @madebygoogle #Pixel9 review is a couple of days away, as I have a lot of thoughts, but here's the TL;DR: This is the best phone that Google has ever made, and it's finally converted me. It's the best regular-sized phone ever made! 🔥🔥🔥

But wait!! That's not all!! This week also marks another bucket list ticked off as I'm now contributing to @tomsguide as well!!! Super stoked to have my name there!! tomsguide.com/wellness/fitne…

As an FYI, my size 12 Galaxy Ring just hit 8 days and has about half a day's worth of battery remaining.

P.s. I spent much of the weekend building tools to track stock: As of two hours ago, this was in stock: - Black: 5,6,7,8 - Gold: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 - Silver: 5,6,7,8,9,10 I'm excited to launch this resource later this week! Follow @HotDotTech for alerts and more! The stock checker will contain: - Availability by retailer - Availability by size - Availability by color Links to each product at one of the 4 selected retailers. The stock availability is driven by a mix of manual and automated checks and is based on the data shown on each retailer's website.

As the @SamsungMobileUS #GalaxyRing has been more popular than expected, big sizes have been delayed! As I mentioned, I've been using a size 10 on my wedding finger for while waiting for my size 12! I placed 4 orders and didn't expect it until Friday, but 2 came today... 😃🧵👇

Unlike the Galaxy Watch series which is clunky, the #GalaxyRing is nicely integrated into Samsung Health. Launch Samsung Health, tap the ring and it switches to a single view for all things Ring! It's a slick and logical UI. Next, let's see how much data it captures 🧵👇
