267 | Vibe Coding Showdown: Microsoft vs. Google — Which Should You Use?

Which is better for vibe coding, Microsoft or Google? Will built the same Docebo API integration in both ecosystems. The Google version took him a week. The Microsoft version took almost two months.This week on the HiTech Podcast, Josh and Will compare Power Automate and Google Apps Script for building real automations and API integrations. They cover what middleware is (explained with a mob-boss metaphor that works surprisingly well), why a simple job like updating 1,000 course codes gets complicated fast, and where Microsoft's enterprise security controls are worth the trade-off. Will also gives his verdict on where to start if you have a choice. And yes, we sort the big tech companies into Hogwarts houses. Microsoft is a Hufflepuff. We stand by it.Whether you're new to vibe coding or already building automations at work, you'll leave knowing which ecosystem fits you. -- ♣️Want to become a HiTech Club member, support the pod, and get all of the extras on our episodes?
