I've been programming for 20 years, just so y'all know I have at least some level of competence.
I tried Vibe Coding for the first time on Friday and was blown away. It was awesome. I met some people (all programmers) at a party on Friday and excitedly told them about it. One of them tried, he loved.
Then yesterday I read a LinkedIn (Lunatic?) post about "Vibe Design", where PMs will just tell the computer what to do using some sort of visual language, where you create UI elements and drop them on a canvas, and AI makes your vision come true, etc, etc...
And my first thought was: "Wait a minute, I've seen this movie before. Back on late 90s / early 2000s it was the 4th generation programming language, and Visual Basic would allow anyone to code any system"...
And while it's true Visual Basic did allow a BUNCH of people to make money building and selling systems to video rental shops and hair saloons, programmers never went away.
I welcome anyone building more software. The tools will only get better. And programmers will adapt them, and it will make us better too, and we will still be needed.
