I’ve been degoogling for a while and noticed I stepped by going to Proton from one walled garden into another. I use Proton’s mail and calendar these days. And even though I like the Proton products, I can’t say I’m a fan of having no access to my data outside their products. This led me to Proton Bridge, which at least offers IMAP/SMTP for their services, but no calendar/contacts. In a chat with one of my friends I figured this would be neat to vibe code (or at least heavily-assisted LLM coding). This is my attempt at journaling the process and findings.

Each new iteration of LLMs gets its coding capabilities ‘upgraded’, ’enhanced’ and more with great results from some software engineering scoring system. Everytime I see this I get excited and curious, but it always ends in disappointment for me. I find it a bit difficult to describe why exactly, but I’ll try to get some of my thoughts written up here.

Last week Anthropic released a tool called Claude Code (CC), which at first glance seemed pretty powerful. So I tried it for a bit, and it’s clearly not there yet when working on larger projects. At least for me.
