In 2025, 'vibe coding'—telling AI to write code using plain English—is the new Silicon Valley buzzword thanks to players like Leaping AI’s CEO Kevin Wu, who ironically suspects his own hires don’t understand the AI’s output. USC’s Nenad Medvidovic warns it’s like handing novices a race car, explaining AI code is fine for low-stakes stuff but breaks badly on complex projects. Meanwhile, Stanford data reveals a brutal 20% drop in early-career coder jobs since late 2022. OpenAI’s Jigar Bhati insists humans remain boss, while Microsoft’s Ritvika Nagula admits bad prompts lead to useless AI code. Fun and fast? Yes. Reliable? Nope.
