Turning Pre-Arrival Engagement into Measurable Revenue. I recently delivered a keynote at the SPARK Start-Up Summit at @LesRochesNews. My conversations with luxury hospitality operators kept circling back to one critical question: How do we build value in a moment where teams are overworked? The modern luxury guest expects a flawless experience, but the window to shape that starts 4–6 weeks before arrival, not at check-in. That’s where Vibeslist comes in: 1. See exactly what is happening in the city during your guest's stay. 2. Share a curated digital event list before they arrive. 3. Extend the stay. Guests who plan ahead add +0.3 nights to their average length of stay. After 18 months of development, our product is ready for enterprise-level delivery, and our first hotel partners are already live. Time to speak with more GMs.

Everyone: "Oh wow, the Eiffel Tower! So majestic." Adorable. Startup founder? Taking notes on the OG moat building.

I’ll be honest... I was hesitant. When you have a ruthless quality standard for your data pipelines, you don't just change things overnight. But after 5 days of obsessive monitoring... we did the unthinkable. We ripped out 70% of our infrastructure and handed it to Luna. 🌕 The result? Quality didn't drop. It actually went up. But here is the part that is going to blow your mind: our costs dropped by 90%. Ninety. Percent. 📉 When tokens become this cheap, it completely rewires how you think about architecture. 🧠 Building Events Intelligence just got even more fun. 🔥

Next week's itineraries for San Francisco, Milan, Florence, Rome, and London are now deployed to our hotels partners. The attached previews represent a fraction of the full intelligence briefs operating inside partner properties. Pre-arrival teams now hold the exact insights, from private caviar dinners and open-air opera to exclusive film restorations, required to solve the itinerary bottleneck before guests check in. @vibeslistai is the enterprise platform turning pre-arrival itineraries into measurable revenue. Set the standard.

I put our latest AI hotel agents to the test and generated this clean Memorial Day Weekend itinerary for SF.

Code refactoring and good architecture is something that we all learnt by making thousands of mistakes and manually rewire and polish our own code. A simplification there, a over engineering there, a silly best practice there. But we made the decision and we took ownership of our own code. Now there is a very deep philosophical question, if you are robbed of this learning opportunity as Vibe Coding just gets the job done, how the heck you will learn? Like for me Vibe Coding is great because I have 20 years of coding experience and I made so many mistakes I just know when something feels off and i need to push Codex or Gemini into a different direction. But if you don't have that manual experience, how do you know when that is not right? Sure other people reviewing, sure some code reviewing tools, but still. Building software is at more an Art that just pure Science. I don't have an answer, just very curios to see how the new Junior Devs will learn the Art of great coding and great architecture if they never write code by hand.
