Founder & Editor, VibecodedThis
Michael Joiner founded VibecodedThis and writes its news coverage, reviews, and comparison data. He maintains the site's database of 54 AI coding tools, verifying every pricing entry against official vendor pages and documentation, each with a dated source link.
His coverage focuses on the practical side of AI-assisted development: what tools actually cost, how plans and limits change over time, and what shipped in each release. He has published 42 tool reviews on the site, all following the same rule: facts side by side, no scores, and a dash instead of a guess when something can't be verified.
How the data is sourced and checked is documented on the methodology page, and editorial standards on the ethics & transparency page. Corrections are always welcome at [email protected].
