From Researcher to Builder: Vibe Coding Tomer Sharon's Method Finder
Summary
Tomer Sharon's question-first framework still matters more now that products can be built faster than ever. Tomer spent his career making user research practical and accessible for product teams who did not have a research background. He passed away in 2025. The Method Finder is a tribute to his work and an attempt to carry it forward: a tool that matches any team's research question to a best-fit method from an 18-method taxonomy, in five prompts or less. In this session, I will show you the tool, explain the framework behind it, and walk through the vibe coding process I used to build it: Replit for development, Claude and NotebookLM for editing. You will leave with access to the tool, the PRD, and a practical understanding of how to apply this workflow to your own R&D practice.
