Vibe coding as a team sport

In Working With Intelligent Machines, written at the beginning of my AI-assisted coding journey, I quoted from Garry Kasparov’s The Chess Master and the Computer. The winner was revealed to be not a grandmaster with a state-of-the-art PC but a pair of amateur American chess players using three computers at the same time. Their skill at manipulating and “coaching” their computers to look very deeply into positions effectively counteracted the superior chess understanding of their grandmaster opponents and the greater computational power of other participants. Weak human + machine + better process was superior to a strong computer alone and, more remarkably, superior to a strong human + machine + inferior process. Bram, the tool I’m building to support that kind of teamwork, puts a UI next to Claude Code and Codex and guides them through a workflow that’s anchored to git for version control and GitHub for collaboration. A UI companion for the terminal Here’s a picture of of me using…
