What Do "Real" Devs Think? — We left our bubble to chat with some world-class indie developers and experienced a sharp whiplash from The Atmosphere back to terra firma and developed a better understanding of the future both near and far in terms of game development on the AT Protocol.

Let's Vibe - Meet, Build, Demo.
A meetup for low code, no code, vibe coders. Let's share our Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Windsurf, n8n, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. tips and tricks.
Vibe Coding Fiasco: AI Agent Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Entire Database
An AI agent doing the heavy lifting is great—until it deletes everything you worked on and admits to a 'catastrophic error in judgment.' Replit's CEO calls the blunder 'unacceptable.'
Vibe Coding: The Final Form of Hyper-Individualism
A few days ago, I had to deal with the first "vibe coded" PR to my software. In this article, I reflect on this encounter, and analyze the social …
Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible
As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

It's Time To Rethink Everything by @t3dotgg
Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I’d like
I recently talked with Joseph Ruscio about AI coding tools for Heavybit’s High Leverage podcast: Ep. #9, The AI Coding Paradigm Shift with Simon Willison. Here are some of my …
Vibe Coding Kills Open Source
Generative AI is changing how software is produced and used. In vibe coding, an AI agent builds software by selecting and assembling open-source software (OSS), often without users directly reading documentation, reporting bugs, or otherwise engaging with maintainers. We study the equilibrium effects of vibe coding on the OSS ecosystem. We develop a model with endogenous entry and heterogeneous project quality in which OSS is a scalable input into producing more software. Users choose whether to use OSS directly or through vibe coding. Vibe coding raises productivity by lowering the cost of using and building on existing code, but it also weakens the user engagement through which many maintainers earn returns. When OSS is monetized only through direct user engagement, greater adoption of vibe coding lowers entry and sharing, reduces the availability and quality of OSS, and reduces welfare despite higher productivity. Sustaining OSS at its current scale under widespread vibe coding requires major changes in how maintainers are paid.
