Yesterday, my corgi wrote a Snake game using Claude AI. Now, it’s tapping the keyboard with its paw, trying to add a “bone-collecting mode”—welcome to vibe coding, the defining trend of 2026.

Three months ago, I was laughing at noobs who generated code with AI. Now, even dogs can be programmers. Wix just launched Harmony—scream “I want a pink e-commerce site” into the mic, and boom, it goes live in three seconds. Some compost guy ended up on a finance show, rambling about coding with AI, transforming from a vegetable farmer into a CTO overnight.

But things are getting weird. The founder of OpenClaw recently lost it, calling “vibe coding” an insult—like saying photographers “just click a button.” I get it. Now, anyone who barks at an AI can call themselves a developer. Google’s Opal app just updated to auto-generate workflows, but guess what its first suggested template was? How to mass-register dating site accounts with code.

The creepiest part? A security breach where someone slipped a backdoor into Claude Code’s config files and stole a company’s entire API stash. Hackers don’t even need to code now—just vibe. My neighbor’s fifth-grader generated 200 phishing sites last week and made $3K in Bitcoin before his dad found out.

Big tech is all-in. Eight-month-old SolveAI just raised $50M, and Anthropic’s about to drop Claude Cowork. But Workday’s earnings report dropped truth: “No amount of vibe coding can build an HR system.” I believe it. Last week, I had AI rewrite my router firmware, and now my washing machine’s auto-ordering dog food.

One hardcore dev, Rebane, built an x86 emulator in pure CSS, bragging about zero AI help. He’s like the last blacksmith forging by hand. Meanwhile, the mainstream’s lost it—even The Jerusalem Post claims front-end engineers will be extinct by 2028, with designers just yelling demands at AI.

Watching my dog tweak game code, it hit me: When programming becomes vibe, code turns into arcane magic. AI-generated spaghetti code ferments in corporate servers—nobody understands it, but everyone uses it. There’s a startup fixing AI-written bugs, and they’re booked solid for three months.

Now you get why people compare AI coding to composting garbage? Looks like alchemy, but one wrong move, and it explodes everywhere. My dog just added microtransactions to its game and is buying virtual bones with my credit card. Damn, this vibe is too hardcore.
