Insights, updates, and case studies from Bill Vivino Technology—serving North Jersey, the NYC metro area, and nationwide.
Meet Chris, the vibe coder. With tools like Cursor, Replit, and Copilot, he can spin up apps overnight—but soon faces bugs, security issues, API costs, and stalled launches. This post explains why cleanup specialists are now essential to stabilize and ship vibe‑coded projects.
If your app developer vanishes without handing over the source code, you could lose everything. This post is a survival guide: how to lock down your GitHub repo, protect your accounts, recover the project, and avoid being ghosted again.
A practical guide for startup founders choosing the right tech stack for their MVP. Includes real-world examples and a breakdown of tools like Swift, Kotlin, Firebase, React Native, and more.
I work with non-technical startup founders using Cursor, Replit, or Windsurf to co-develop software. By reviewing, editing, and validating their changes in real-time—then syncing those updates back into the repo—I keep momentum high and timelines short. It’s like pair programming across a skill gap.
How we helped a funded founder launch a creator-focused iOS social app using Firebase, SwiftUI, and custom media caching. Real-time feeds, video playback, and a companion analytics dashboard—all in under 6 months.
Debugging isn’t about guessing—it’s detective work. Learn why I always begin with a fixed, three‑hour discovery sprint and how that model keeps your budget safe while giving me the space to uncover the real culprit in your code.
Forget the hype: AI can’t refactor your legacy codebase or untangle years of tech‑debt without a seasoned engineer at the helm. In this piece I break down why “hands‑off” coding is a myth, how to Marie Kondo your codebase, and why interviews that hinge on LeetCode still miss the point.
One critical question founders always ask is budget: app development rarely ends after launch. This quick guide explains why MVPs start around $25k–$50k and how ongoing updates shape total cost.
We overhauled our craft‑beer social app: real‑time feed, personal cellar, dark mode, smarter notifications, and major performance boosts—all in one sprint.
