D'Arcy Norman collects his thoughts and experiences on using AI to quickly generate software prototypes and useful tools, a.k.a. vibecoding. "My career has somehow always been as a kind of translator between Nerds and Not-Nerds," he writes, "able to articulate things well enough that things make enough sense to everyone. Turns out, that’s kind of the vibecoding superpower." Vibecoding is an incredibly useful tool, he writes, but most definitely will not replace professional programmers.
