I Need Coffee - EPISODE 200 - Weekly BC Review!

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)
