This is pretty interesting.

Yesterday, Rocket.new introduced a new concept called “Vibe Solutioning,” claiming that the current “Vibe Coding” isn’t cutting it anymore. Honestly, when I first saw the term “Vibe Coding,” I thought it was pretty abstract. Now, they’ve come up with “Solutioning”—these folks really love coining new terms.

But when you think about it, there’s something substantial behind this.

What is Vibe Coding?
Simply put, it’s about using AI to generate code. You give it a vague requirement, and it spits out a bunch of code. This is all the rage right now, with tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT doing exactly that. But the problem is obvious—the generated code works, but it’s not good. It lacks context, architectural design, and forget about long-term maintenance. It’s essentially a glorified autocomplete.

So what’s Vibe Solutioning?
According to Rocket.new, it aims to tackle the entire development lifecycle. Starting from strategic planning, moving to persistent memory (where the AI retains your project’s context), and finally delivering a production-ready build. This isn’t just about writing code—it’s about handling requirements analysis, architecture design, code generation, testing, and deployment all in one.

Frankly, I think they’re onto something. The biggest issue with AI-generated code today is its fragmented nature—today’s snippet doesn’t connect with tomorrow’s. If someone can truly deliver an end-to-end solution, that would be a real upgrade.

But there are challenges
First, can AI really handle strategic planning? Even product managers struggle to articulate complex requirements—how will AI understand them? Second, “persistent memory” sounds great, but in reality, requirements change daily. Too good a memory might actually be a liability. Third, a production-ready build? Even human-written code is riddled with bugs—can AI-generated code really be deployment-ready?

That said, the trend is clear. The future of low-code/no-code platforms won’t be about who has the most drag-and-drop components, but whose AI truly understands business logic. Look at tools like Notion and Airtable—they’re no longer just forms; they’re evolving into “smart workflows.”

Impact on the industry
If Vibe Solutioning takes off, traditional software development processes will be completely disrupted. We might need fewer junior programmers, but more “AI trainers”—people who teach AI how to interpret requirements and design architectures.

Startups could also get a major boost. Instead of assembling a tech team to build an app, one person with an AI tool might be enough. But big tech will likely follow suit—after all, companies like Microsoft and Google excel at turning “your idea” into “their feature.”

One last gripe
The name is a mouthful. “Vibe Solutioning”? Why not just call it “Full-Stack AI Development”? But then again, tech folks love inventing jargon. If you know, you know.

Either way, this is worth watching. If more tools like this pop up next year, I won’t be surprised at all.
