From users to builders: How AI and low-code are rewriting who builds software

Vibe coding is a new way of building software where users prompt an AI model with a line of text and it generates most of the code, allowing people with zero programming experience to create apps and websites. This technology has gained popularity, with about 25% of startups in Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch having codebases built almost entirely by AI.
Vibe coding is a new approach to software development that uses AI to generate code from natural language prompts. Users describe their idea to an AI tool, which then creates the framework, logic, and user interface. This technology has been gaining traction, with many tools such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot Workspace supporting vibe coding. However, beginners may still need guidance on how to use the generated code. Vibe coding simplifies the development process but requires basic computer literacy. The technology has the potential to democratize software development, but it is not a replacement for human expertise and decision-making.
