I Need Coffee - Episode 200 - Weekly BC Review! (February 13, 2026)
1. Vibe Coding / Agentic Engineering Mania
- Steve stayed up past 10 p.m. multiple nights vibe coding with Claude + GitHub Copilot
- Customer (inspired by previous stream) published a full custom API in one evening
- New internal app idea → started and largely completed in ~8 hours total (vs estimated 100–120 hours manually)
- GitHub Copilot suggested complete redesign of Sales Hold app → **80 % complexity reduction**, better UX, aligns with standard BC workflow
- Franklin (junior dev, <1 year experience) fully refactored the app and is now vibe-coding automated approval-workflow pre-configuration on install
2. Claude Code (new tool) & PRD Explosion
- Installed Claude Code (Opus 4.6) – called “more developer-friendly, empathetic, no noise”
- Generated 71-page PRD (started at 28 pages) with ultra-detailed acceptance criteria, API call validation, error handling for every HTTP response, etc.
- Agentic debugging innovation: added “Run Diagnostics” button to setup page so the AI can query BC data itself and self-diagnose (solved account classification bug in 3 rounds)
3. Diagramming & Tools Quest
- Exploring Draw.io MCP server for fully agentic business-process / wireframe diagrams
- Still evaluating PlantUML vs Mermaid vs Draw.io for “agentic diagramming” inside PRDs/SOWs
4. Business & Operations Highlights
- iSolutions training completed (payments + tokenization); internal implementation started
- Partner Dashboard live in production; registration dashboard next
- Mysterious production environment deletion in demo tenant → treated as breach, full lockdown performed (passwords, 2FA, app registrations reset)
- Fixed **13-year-old Dynamics GP 1099 bug** (partial payments/credit memos)
- MEM Aged AR report extension broken when using “Print to Excel” (bypasses report extensions)
- DevOps project creation automated via vibe-coded script (was 28-page manual nightmare)
5. Team Excellence Updates (Berlin, El Salvador)
- Joselyn & David studying for MB-800
- David → Simple Object Designer wizard
- Ronald → leading Partner Dashboard + iSolutions + Continia
- Franklin → vibe-coding Sales Hold + auto-approval setup
- Fatima → PMP + vibe-coding full Greenfield BC project plan (stakeholders, risks, steering committee, etc.)
- First El Salvador Dynamics User Group meetup confirmed: **Thursday, February 19, 2026** (in Spanish)
6. Personal / Weekend Notes
- Packing 3 suitcases as “mule” for El Salvador trip (soccer balls, backpacks, luggage rack, mattress pad)
- Received free Apple Watch Ultra 2 via insurance claim
- Achieved Avianca Elite Gold status for 2026
- Air-fryer ribeye + veggies dinner story
7. Upcoming Events
- Directions NA – Orlando, April 27–29, 2026 → Steve + Brad presenting “Vibe Coding the Entire Partner Process” (phone call → PRD → wireframes → full app)
- Dynamics Con – Las Vegas, May 12–15, 2026
- Directions Asia (HCMC) – May 13–15, 2026 (Tanya attending)
- DynamicsMinds – Slovenia, May 25–27, 2026
- Summit NA roadshows starting Feb 19 (Tampa)
- Dynamics Con regionals: Denver (April 9), etc.
