About | Better Vibe Coding

We're on a mission to make building software accessible to everyone.

Somebody needed to teach the thinking behind the building. So we did.

We've spent our careers in software. Now we're making it accessible.

Erin has spent 20+ years scaling software companies โ€” as a manager, a leader, and a strategist. She's lived in the software world her entire career without writing code. She knows exactly what it's like to have a vision for something, understand the business inside and out, and still hit a wall when it comes to the technical execution.

Billy is a CTO who's spent his career building real software systems. The kind that handle millions of users and don't fall over. He knows what breaks, why it breaks, and how to build things that don't.

Together, they started Aperkai. Along the way, people kept asking how they were building things, what they were using, and how non-technical people could do the same. So they built Better Vibe Coding โ€” a brand built on the belief that the gap between having an idea and building it shouldn't require a computer science degree to cross.

Erin brings the perspective of someone who's spent her career in software without writing code โ€” she knows what non-technical people actually need to hear. Billy brings the engineering depth to make sure it's right. Between them, you get something that's both accessible and accurate.

Teach the thinking, not just the tools.

There's plenty of content about which buttons to click in AI coding tools. Almost nothing about how to think about what you're building. That's the part that actually matters โ€” and it's what we teach. In plain English. For people who build with AI and want to get better at it without becoming software engineers.

Three things, done well.
