Saw a stat recently that stuck with me: 92% of U.S. developers now use AI coding tools daily, but only 29% actually trust the code those tools produce. That gap is wild when you sit with it; we've fully adopted the workflow before we've actually resolved whether we believe in the output. Tech Xplore

Vibe coding specifically (prompt-driven, minimally governed AI coding) is being pulled apart from more disciplined AI-accelerated and agentic engineering workflows as companies figure out where "move fast" actually breaks things. Gartner's projecting 40% of new enterprise production software will be built with vibe coding techniques by 2028, which is a lot of surface area for the same trust gap to show up in.

Hey everyone, I'm Ryan, co-founder and CEO of Flyby.

We're building corporate travel software that connects directly to a company's calendar and automatically books flights and hotels within policy, no manual searching, no approval chains. If a meeting moves, Flyby automatically rebooks the trip too. Every booking stays reversible with one click, so it's automatic without taking away control, which is the trust problem we think has kept most "automated" travel tools from actually removing the manual work.

Hey everyone, I'm Ryan. Currently a production intern at FOX News for the summer, and building Flyby on the side: corporate travel that books and rebooks itself automatically, with one click to undo anything if plans change.

Before this I was making cold calls at a startup and covering the Missouri State Capitol as a reporter, so most of what I know about building things I learned from talking to a lot of strangers and getting told no a lot. Flyby's first real customer came from exactly that: a cold outreach message with no warm intro.
