Our Vibe Coding Setups
23/07/2025
Pete Winn, Andy David
Pete and Andy dive into their evolving AI-assisted coding workflows, showcasing how tools like Claude and Cursor are enabling more structured and intentional development approaches. They discuss their implementation of sequential prompting methods, organised project management in Obsidian, and a shift from "vibe coding" to systematic workflows with built-in validation checks.
This episode explores uses of multi-agent panel discussions to unearth new insights and reduce bias, and how automation is fundamentally changing their relationship with work itself - shifting from execution and task completion to deeper questions of purpose and intentionality.
Description
In this episode, Pete and Andy discuss their evolving coding workflows with AI tools, focusing on how Claude Desktop and Cursor have created more structured and efficient development environments.
They share insights about implementing sequential prompting methods, organizing work in Obsidian, and using AI-driven panel discussions to explore ideas.
The conversation highlights how AI tools are changing their approach to productivity and shifting focus from execution to more fundamental questions about project purpose.

The Good Stuff is a low-fi dialogue with Pete Winn and Andy David.
Each week, we share our everyday experiences working with artificial intelligence and how it's fundamentally changing the rules of work and business, the economy, entrepreneurship, and human potential. We explore the ripple effects, unintended consequences, and emerging opportunities as AI transforms how we work and create, diving into the tools and technology we're using each week.
Expect a mix of chats out of the back of a van at the beach, walking interviews and general use of dialectic and discussion with insightful guests that lift the lid on complex topics. Chilled out, minimal jargon, authentic.
