Vibe coding is a new buzzword and may be your ticket to a better job that involves actively participating in the creation of software rather than being a user. Vibe coding refers to the skill of having Large Language Models (LLM) and specialised programming software suites that let you program what you need with just prompts. Even Andrej Karpathy, who co-founded Open AI, tweeted about it recently.

If this sounds like a fun task with the LLMs and software where they are right now, it is still a task that a proper programmer would rather not do. However, if you stick to it, there are jobs in the future that will need this skill or even be the main job profile itself. While most programmers feel threatened by this tech, I must point out that people who are skilled at programming would still have a function further up the food chain as supervisors. Imagine a company where vibe coders are the majority of coders, and you, as a programmer, are the supervisor. Of course, this means that even as a professional coder you would need to know how vibe coding works.
