Would I Choose This Path Again?: Choosing My Own Direction Over a Safe Career
Leaving stability behind wasn’t romantic or brave. It was simply the moment I could no longer ignore what I really wanted.
From building services with agentic AI to the everyday rhythm of life with pets, and the leap from strategy consultant to solo developer — honest stories from where technology and life intersect.
Vibe Pick's Story section is a space for sharing the big and small challenges that come with being a solo creator and developer, along with the lessons learned along the way. It's where I write about building products, navigating career shifts, and figuring out how technology fits into everyday life beyond the screen.
AI & Building Products covers the trial and error of applying the latest tools — agentic AI, Claude Code, and evolving workflows — to real services. Life with My Dog follows the creative rhythm of everyday life alongside Daon & Bao. Career & Transitions shares the reality of moving from strategy consulting into solo development, while Thoughts on Staying the Course is about continuing forward, even through uncertainty and self-doubt.
These posts are less about polished conclusions and more about documenting the process as it unfolds. I hope the small discoveries and mistakes shared here can offer a bit of comfort, insight, or motivation to anyone walking a similar path. And if you enjoy the stories, Daon & Bao's snack fund is always open for support.
