I heard Lauren Goode talk about her article “Why Did a $10 Billion Startup Let Me Vibe-Code for Them—and Why Did I Love It?” on Wired’s “Uncanny Valley” podcast this week. It’s fascinating and both are worth your time.

Jason Kottke wrote about the article in his post “Much Ado About Vibe Coding” and he shared 16 links to other articles about LLMs and coding that are all worth checking out, as you’d expect, and shared more still in the comments.

You can draw your own conclusions from the comments section, but it’s great to see so many non-developers vibe coding solutions to problems and whole projects into existence.

In the comments section, NickBLT expresses a concern I’ve been having: when this stabilizes as a product, I really hope we can have the same low cost access to the service. I’m running some local LLMs and they’re a positive indicator, but also a long way from the speed and depth of the commercial products.
