Vibe Coding is Here - How AI is Changing How We Build Online
10 segments available
Vibe Coding: The Future of Software Development? (with Yoko Li & Justine Moore | a16z) What if you could build an app just by describing it? That’s the idea behind vibe coding — a new AI-driven approach that’s reshaping software development for engineers and non-technical users alike. Instead of writing detailed code, users guide an AI coding agent with simple prompts like “make this look cleaner” or “I want a button that does X.” In this episode, we sit down with Yoko Li and Justine Moore from a16z to break down the rise of vibe coding, its impact on software development, and why AI-powered text-to-web tools are taking off. We explore: - How vibe coding works and why it’s gaining traction - The emerging companies leading the space (Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, VZero, and more) - Why engineers and total beginners are both using these tools - The challenges of AI-driven development (when “vibes” go wrong!) - Where this trend is heading—and what it means for the future of coding From software for one to enterprise-level applications, vibe coding is opening up new possibilities for creating on the web. Tune in to learn how it’s changing the way we build.
