#ensakidag 499: Vibecoding moves into your pocket. (And now there are no excuses left.)

[today got messy. I haven’t quite found my form again yet. But hang in there. Ask questions if anything is unclear. Push back if I’m wrong. And don’t miss tomorrow’s episode.]

Cursor, the AI coding tool recently bought by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has released a mobile app. It sounds like a small thing, but it’s the moment vibecoding moves into your pocket.

Because just as the internet went from a shared computer at work, to every desk, to the computer at home, to the phone in your pocket, vibecoding is now making exactly the same journey. And with it goes the last friction between thinking “someone should build that” and actually building it yourself.

I talk about some of the things I’m putting together: from a tiny app whose only job is to log my Oura ring’s battery when it started acting up, to the children’s wedding website, to something I’m releasing tomorrow. And I come back to why services such as Bröllopstorget and the American The Knot ought to be nervous, while the big enterprise systems can be left alone for a little longer.

But the most important message is this: for everyday needs, the dividing line between user and developer has practically disappeared. That doesn’t mean professional developers are gone. It does mean that if you used to see yourself as “just a user”, you no longer have an excuse. It’s almost your duty to build.

So: you have roughly 24 hours. Build something. Tomorrow is the anniversary. I’ll connect yesterday and today with the future... and I want you to tell me what you built.
