# Vibe Coding The Data Harness | Personal Projects With Ex-Google SWE, Ep 9

**[Jordan has no life](https://daily.dev/sources/jordan-has-no-life)** · 24 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

An ex-Google SWE demonstrates building a 'data harness' Trino plugin using AI-assisted (vibe) coding. The plugin unions multiple data sources — Kafka and Apache Iceberg — into a single queryable view using Trino's connector API. The episode covers the working proof-of-concept, schema management via Avro and Iceberg schemas, and a live vibe-coding session adding Protocol Buffer schema support using an AI coding agent (Zencoder). The author also discloses a paid sponsorship for the AI tool used.
