Vibe coding, a technique where AI-generated code assists developers, has become prevalent among experienced programmers, including startup founders like Carla Rover and Feridoon Malekzadeh. While Rover and her son are building a startup for custom machine learning models, she notes the challenges of relying on AI, as it often requires significant oversight and correction, leading to the term ‘AI babysitters.’ Developers like Malekzadeh acknowledge the efficiency gains but emphasize the need for human intervention to ensure quality and security. Despite its flaws, vibe coding accelerates development processes, allowing startups to innovate rapidly while posing new challenges in systems thinking and security vulnerabilities.
