I was in the kitchen making my morning coffee this past Sunday when I heard my wife call from the basement: “Adrian, can you come down here? I think we have a problem.”

Not a great way to start the day.

It got worse when I went downstairs and saw a puddle of water around our water heater.

I called the plumber who installed it — less than six years ago — and left a message. Then I called again on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. No response. This is a plumber we’ve used many times before, which is why I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt.

But eventually I got the message: either he doesn’t need my business, or he doesn’t value me as a returning customer.

Either way, I don’t understand why he couldn’t spare a minute to call me back.

It’s a pet peeve of mine — a lack of basic professionalism in returning a call or email, especially from someone you already have a relationship with.

A different plumber — recommended by a friend — is coming this morning to replace the water heater. And just like that, the small tax refund I received is gone.

I need more coffee.

Will You Vibe Code Your Next Supply Chain Application?

Advances in generative AI and no/low-code platforms now make it possible to “vibe code” applications — describing what you want in natural language and having AI generate working software with minimal traditional coding. This survey explored whether supply chain leaders are likely to vibe code applications in the next 1–3 years, what would drive that decision, what barriers stand in the way, and what they would build if they could.
