I'm Trying to Vibe Code My Entire Job

Quick Overview

Austin Tedesco, a non-engineer focused on growth, details how he built a custom automation system using Cloud Code over three weeks to replace manual tasks across various platforms like Stripe, ChartMogul, YouTube, Notion, Google Calendar, and Email, streamlining daily workflows like pulling data, generating reports, drafting emails, and checking calendars without switching contexts.

Key Points: Tedesco built a custom automation system using Cloud Code over three weeks to automate his growth-related tasks, serving as a command center for daily operations. The system integrates with multiple services including Stripe (subscription data), ChartMogul (churn/LTV), YouTube (analytics), Notion (content/data), Google Calendar (availability), and email drafting. The primary goal of the custom tool is to automate tedious tasks like pulling data for morning briefs, tracking growth metrics, managing hiring pipelines in Notion, and drafting emails. Tedesco demonstrated pulling YouTube performance data, which showed strong performance (590,812 views, +17,951 net sub growth YTD as of Jan 26, 2025). He showed the system automatically finding a calendar event for 'Millie' and drafting an email summary to her within the terminal, linking to the generated Notion performance report. The speaker notes that building this custom system felt more intuitive and less complex than learning enterprise software, even though he is not an engineer. Future planned integrations include connecting to X/Twitter, HubSpot, and other social media analytics.

Context: Austin Tedesco, identifying as a non-engineer working in growth, explains the development and functionality of a bespoke automation system he created using Cloud Code. This system is designed to consolidate and automate numerous recurring administrative and analytical tasks that he previously performed manually across various SaaS platforms critical to his growth role, such as pulling data from YouTube and Stripe, updating Notion, and drafting emails.
