About

Hi, I’m Johnny.

I’ve been coding for more than 20 years, building software professionally and experimenting with AI workflows long before “vibe coding” became popular.

Why “Code Empty”?

Because I want to show that even non-technical people can start from an empty screen — from zero — and still build something real with AI.

Every project here is built openly from start to finish:
prompting, testing, debugging, refining, deploying, publishing, and improving through iterations.

No hype. No fake demos.
Just real workflows, real problems, and real production apps.

Some projects will become websites.

Some will become Windows, macOS, or mobile apps.
Some may become businesses.
Some may fail.
But everything will be shared openly.

Each project includes:

  • full YouTube recordings
  • prompts used during development
  • screenshots
  • deployment steps
  • debugging process
  • publishing workflow
  • downloadable apps or live websites

The goal is simple:
help more people use AI to build useful things for work, study, life, family, or business.

Some visitors here may already have successful careers and want to learn how AI can improve their daily workflow.

Others may be going through career changes like me and want to share their ideas, hobbies, or expertise through software and content creation.

Wherever you are, I hope these projects help you move forward.

I’m also new to YouTube and video publishing.

So part of this journey is learning how to create videos, automate workflows, and build systems around AI-assisted development and publishing.

That means many future projects will focus on:

  • AI coding workflows
  • local AI automation
  • developer tooling
  • video publishing automation
  • productivity systems
  • workflow orchestration
  • collaborative AI systems

This is both my career background and my hobby, and I want to share everything I learn along the way.

Another important part of this project is SCRUM.

Throughout my career, I practiced rapid prototyping and iterative delivery. Instead of waiting for perfection, I prefer publishing workable software continuously, improving through feedback and real usage.

That’s also how this channel works.

Every video is effectively a sprint:

build → publish → review → improve → repeat

By sharing projects publicly, everyone can review the work, leave feedback, suggest improvements, and help shape future iterations.

This idea eventually grows into OpenVibeHub.com — an extension of CodeEmpty.com where anyone can publish their own vibe coding projects, collaborate with others, review work, discuss ideas, and improve together.

I call this “OpenVibe”.

Not just open source code —
but open workflows, open iterations, open learning, and open building.

CodeEmpty.com itself is open source.
You can deploy your own version using Cloudflare free plans — usually the only cost is a domain name.

I’ve been vibe coding seriously since early 2025, especially when AI coding agents started becoming capable enough to build complete applications — even though they still produce buggy code that requires real debugging and engineering thinking.

I’ve also published AI-powered applications on Microsoft Store with more than 8,000 monthly installs.

This site is where I share the practical side of AI-assisted software development:

the reality, not the hype.


Thanks for visiting CodeEmpty.
Let’s build something useful together.
