A new trend in software development known as 'vibe coding' has been introduced, allowing individuals to create software using AI tools like ChatGPT without traditional coding skills. The concept, coined by Andrej Karpathy, a former OpenAI co-founder, involves using AI to generate entire applications based on natural language prompts. Andrew Ng, a Stanford professor and former Google Brain scientist, has launched a 'Vibe Coding 101' course in collaboration with Replit, an AI company. The course, a 94-minute video series, is taught by Replit's President Michele Catasta and Head of Developer Relations Matt Palmer. It aims to teach beginners how to effectively use AI tools for software development, emphasizing the importance of structured prompting and debugging techniques. The rise of vibe coding has sparked debate within the tech community. Proponents argue that it democratizes software development, making it accessible to those without coding experience. Critics, however, express concerns about code quality and the potential loss of technical skills among developers.
The users of the vibe coding tool of the future won't know what Supabase is. 50% of them won't even know what a database is. 70% won't know what an api key is. 90% of them won't know what NextJS or Vite are. 100% of them will just vibe.
a good vibe coding tool has not been made. btw
vibe coding my the path to the Ω point… https://t.co/3ICA63F2LY
