I’m not a programmer. But I’ve been creating my own software tools with help from artificial intelligence.

OpenAI has launched an AI agent in ChatGPT, Codex, that can handle multiple software engineering tasks on behalf of users simultaneously.

I’ve been doing this now for 17 years. To me, vibe coding looks like it will do something similar for future software engineers and the programming landscape. Forget formal training.

Could coding with AI slow you down? In just the last couple of years, AI has totally transformed the world of software engineering. Writing your own code (from scratch, at least,) has become quaint.
