Gen Z, Alpha, and the Vibe Coding Zeitgeist 🧙
Vibe Coding: Revolution or Regression for Tomorrow's Tech Minds? 🤷🏻♂️
Good Morning,
As the vibe coding interface takes shape, I’ve been checking out a new startup coming out of stealth (today’s sponsor), called App20X. As a non-coder I’m not generally someone that spends a great deal of time tinkering, I wanted to ask someone who is in touch with the early adopters like students.
writes the Newsletter Educating AI.“Work is changing, and we're only beginning to understand how. What's clear from these experiments is that the relationship between human expertise and AI capabilities isn't fixed.” - Ethan Mollick.
How will students and unemployed youth begin to interact with the vibe coding interfaces? 🤔 2025 might mark a shift of the AI-human interface from chatbots to dumbed down IDEs, that is, vibe coding Integrated Development Environments (IDE). From AI improving at coding to Claude wrappers, we need to watch this space.
What are the Top vibe coding AI tools, IDEs and Claude Wrappers?
“Most code will be written (generated?) by the time rich. Thus, most code will be written by kids/students rather than software engineers.” - Andrew Chen, a16z
Will this mean GenZ and Alpha will be more likely to build products via AI in the decade ahead and become self-employed in the process?
Additional AI Vibe Coding Tools
Depending on what you want to do, these tools can help.
Imprecise Language Based Iterative Vibe Coding
“While vibe coding, if an error occurs, you feed it back into the AI model, accept the changes, hope it works, and repeat the process. Karpathy's technique stands in stark contrast to traditional software development best practices, which typically emphasize careful planning, testing, and understanding of implementation details.” - Benji Edwards, ArsTechnica
For experiments and low-stake projects where you want to explore what's possible and build fun prototypes? Go wild! Says Simon.
But will Vibe coding move beyond fun into general utility?
Is Generative AI becoming so convenient, the effort it takes for students to learn software engineering and real coding going to be detrimental to them? The work of
and bears reading.This is what Educators like Nick and skeptics and more critical analysts like me think about.
