Y'all. What the heck is Vibe Coding?
patchnotes_
At first, we thought it was just a meme. You know, the classic “I don’t need docs, I have vibes” energy. But then we saw Levels.io casually vibe-code a game and make hundreds of thousands off it. Andrej Karpathy is out here saying “forget the code even exists.” YC founders are bragging about how they “just think and review.”
So obviously, we had to cover this. Because if AI is out here writing entire apps while we just sit back and sip coffee… what even is coding anymore? Are we engineers or just really opinionated project managers now?
The real question: Is Vibe Coding the future… or are we all one bad AI-generated function away from total disaster?
