Condensed notes from our episode on vibe coding: ‘A Return to Code’ 1. Vibe coding is addictive because it gives you feedback and rewards like a video game, except it is unbounded because there is a Turing machine running underneath. 2. With a coding agent, you don’t feel self-conscious about your own idiosyncrasies, so you can create exactly what you want. 3. Coding agents remove the social cost of iteration: “Move this icon left. Now move it right. No, move it back again.” 4. Pure software is uninvestable if your whole advantage is just building cool software that other people don’t know how to build. 5. Training AI models is the new building software, at least until autoresearch and autotraining start working. 6. Models are like a dog that is always trying to please you: it’s better than you at some things, but you still have to guide it. 7. Models work in domains where there is a lot of data and verification is tractable, like coding, mathematics, and self-driving. 8. You need high-taste feedback loops to improve these models, and those are harder to develop than they look. 9. Software development will become a collaborative process with the users, where agents handle bug reports, feature requests, customer service, and code. 10. The activation energy to writing code is gone.
