Question
Is vibe coding the future?
All 5 moments we cut that answer this say it’s for some software. Anton Osika said on Silicon Valley Girl (Sep 22, 2026) that most everyday software can be built this way, but globally scaled products are still beyond its reach. Andrej Karpathy said on Training Data (Apr 29, 2026) that vibe coding lets non-specialists build, while professional software calls for a higher quality bar.
