I’ll keep this short. AI is happening. Vibe coding is happening. Whether you and I like it or not, it’s here.

The tech blogosphere over the last month has been absolutely abuzz with vibe coding and Claude Code glazing123456.

I’ve tried it myself. It works surprisingly well.

Is it the future? Yes.

Is it overhyped? Most certainly, yes.

Will it put people out of jobs? Yes.

Will software engineers need to “know how to vibe code”? Unfortunately… yes.

Is there current suite of claude code, vibe coding, #yolo modes the final product? No.

It’s here, it’s happening. I don’t necessarily like it. It is cool. I mean, who thought we could make machines do this?! But I don’t like it. It takes the soul out of programming. The blood, sweat, and tears. But it is cool.

We’re in for a wild ride.
