Google Promises Vibe Coding Will Make Software Both Fun And Terrifyingly Unsecure
KEY POINTS
- •Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai discussed vibe coding on a 2025 Google podcast, praising its accessibility.
- •He highlighted AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Replit helping non-tech workers build simple apps.
- •Meta’s product managers have vibe-coded prototypes for Mark Zuckerberg, showing wider tech adoption.
- •Pichai warned about security risks for large codebases and said vibe coding should be limited to low-stakes projects.
In a Nov 2025 Google podcast, Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai gave vibe coding a glowing Yelp review, claiming it makes coding 'so much more enjoyable' and turns accountants and HR pros into accidental developers. According to Pichai, vibe coding uses AI tools—like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Replit—to help non-tech folks experiment without actually knowing code. Meta product managers have apparently vibe-coded apps for Mark Zuckerberg, who probably wondered whether he still runs a social site or a sketch comedy troupe. Pichai admits the tech isn’t quite ready for sensitive, security-heavy software, since handing over massive codebases to AI is like letting your toddler drive a bus. Still, the vibe is strong, and Pichai insists this is just the sweet disaster's beginning: 'It’s both amazing to see, and it’s the worst it’ll ever be.'
