🧘‍♂️ Vibe-Coding with AI? That’s what they call it: AI-supported coding. As a software engineer by background, this really interests me. What is the actual difference between conventional development and AI-supported coding? 👉 To try the 'vibe', I've created a free tool that generates funny, smart and out of the ordinary out-of-office messages. -Without meetings. -No backlog grooming. -Forgetting about enterprise steering committees. -Just me, my laptop, and a spark of fun. 💡 Where this idea comes from I’ve always wanted to move beyond the typical “I’m currently out of office with limited access to email” message. The whole out-of-office ritual fascinates me, because the setup process is hilarious and the content is almost always painfully dull. Instead, I wanted ... -Skip the scavenger hunt in the basement of o365 searching for the OOO settings -Create Jedi OOO replies, Shakespearean drama, Monty Python absurdities, Deadpool-level sarcasm and custom styles -Click-the-button-integration with Office 365 to get the OOO message live - In any language. So I teamed up with AI and started building. Not to build the next unicorn: just to learn. To test. To enjoy the process. And perhaps have something working in the end. ⚙️ How it went Two evenings later: the AI Out of Office Generator was live. One dev (me). No team. No sprints. Zen & flow, headphones on, coffee (decaf) in hand. The experience? 🔁 Iterative ⚡ Super Fast 💡 Insightful I got instant best practices, tight code suggestions, and even SEO markup ideas. Coding feels more like assembling building blocks and it allows me to have a lot of focus on the big-picture architecture. Graphics? Good enough. Time to market? ≈ 4 hours. To be honest, waiting for the DNS to propagate for the SSL certificate took longer than building the whole thing 🫣 🔗 About the app ✅ Totally free out-of-office generator 🌐 Works in 25+ languages 🔓 Open API ⚡ 5 messages per day to keep it light 👨‍🎤 Styled like Einstein, Schwarzenegger, Trump, Eminem ... or create your own 🔗 Integrates with o365 (Outlook) ❓Why bother? By day, I’m an enterprise architect and software consultant. But (self-)credibility comes from building, not just talking. Tech isn’t just thinking, it’s making. And sometimes, it’s also just … a lot of fun.

@masump you can do that when setting your own style! Say something like ‘Braveheart - using a style that works both for my colleagues as for my customers’. However, the output is always one message, not a dynamic one.
