Vibecoding as a business consultant

After three decades in consulting, I’ve learned that nothing aligns a room faster than vibecoding a rough MVP in front of clients. It’s the difference between describing a destination and letting people feel the air there: a shared, tactile sense of the future state. In Europe’s boardrooms—cross-border, multilingual, laden with regulation—showing a working sketch often breaks through the abstraction of decks and diagrams. It isn’t theatre; it’s a pragmatic shortcut to shared conviction.

The new assistants make this possible without a small army. Microsoft Copilot helps turn workshop notes into candidate flows and test data, then keeps everyone honest by summarising trade‑offs in plain language. GitHub Copilot sits in the IDE like a tireless pair, nudging out scaffolding for APIs, data transforms, and those “could we just” features that show the art of the possible. And Replit gives you a frictionless sandbox in the browser, so a procurement lead in Milan and an operations manager in Gdańsk can click a link and experience the same prototype within minutes. Together they compress weeks into hours, surface hidden assumptions, and make the conversation less about opinion and more about evidence.

If you need a visual, picture a clean page: three circles around a central MVP. The circles are labelled “Microsoft Copilot” (ideas and context), “GitHub Copilot” (code and patterns), and “Replit” (runtime and sharing), with arrows looping back from “Client Dialogue” into all three. It’s intentionally generic, because vibecoding isn’t a promise of production; it’s a sketch that invites critique, de-risks investment, and gives your engineers a head start when the real build begins. In a region that prizes governance and consensus, that little sketch can be the difference between polite approval and momentum.

AI and ethics

Discussing AI's ethical role in our lives, its future impact, and societal changes has become common. One critical issue often overlooked is how AI will influence global power dynamics, with each continent striving to dominate algorithm mastery - USA, China, Russia, India, and Europe. Articles on AI and ethics usually highlight three levels: first, the assertion that AI should benefit the common good, considering job creation and losses. This assumption requires validation. Second, major AI players (Microsoft, OpenAI, Google) promote potential revolutionary benefits, such as universal cancer cures or affordable personal medication, which also need validation. These developments depend on feeding data models and specialized algorithms, but the outcome may be catastrophic. Furthermore, at the third level, AI's military applications are ominous, with details typically undisclosed to the public. Interested readers can explore more in the AI and Ethics Journal published by Spr...

Working during July and August...

Taking advantage of the summer months to make progress with certain clients ( ironically , July and August are often the times when we advance most quickly , while focusing on some challenging or particularly complex deliverables ), I continually find myself surprised by the lack of information and the difficulty in obtaining concrete , established , indisputable data. In other words , there is a need to base decisions on clear and precise data, akin to a scientific approach .     In daily management— beyond just financial aspects—IT departments must rely on clear , precise , and concise reporting to facilitate progress in digital transformation or technical debt management. Modernizing an information system and simplifying an architecture requires reliable reports that detail which version of a specific technical component is being used , what benefits simplification brings to a particular process, and how risks can...
