Latest / The DEX Show: A Show for IT Change Makers / 🎙️ Reality Bytes: The Rise (and Risks) of Vibe Coding
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome it, change Makers to the Deck Show with Tim
- 0:05Speaker 1: Flower and Tom McGrath. Let's get into it.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Hello, change Makers, it's reality bites.
- 0:11Speaker 3: We're bringing the band back together.
- 0:13Speaker 2: We've got Orianna, We've got Megan, We've got Sean, and
- 0:17Speaker 2: we've got Timbo. I say, we laugh a little bit
- 0:20Speaker 2: because I just said we've got Oriana and Oreanna has
- 0:22Speaker 2: just disappeared from our recording studio, and poor Orianna. We
- 0:26Speaker 2: were having trouble last time around as well, so hopefully.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Orianna returns and it's all good.
- 0:32Speaker 2: So look, one of the you know, I think I
- 0:34Speaker 2: probably present a podcast because somewhere in me when I
- 0:38Speaker 2: was a kid, I quite liked the idea of being
- 0:40Speaker 2: a DJ.
- 0:41Speaker 3: I think it's probably true, and as such, when the
- 0:44Speaker 3: suggestion was.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Put forward by our very own sure Maulvi, but we
- 0:48Speaker 2: maybe do an episode on vibe coding. I think it felt,
- 0:53Speaker 2: you know, quite dj ish as a terminology to use,
- 0:59Speaker 2: which is no reason to do a podcast in and
- 1:01Speaker 2: of itself. But then we did also have a fantastic
- 1:03Speaker 2: episode Tim and I last week where the conversational interface
- 1:09Speaker 2: was our focus walls. The conversational interface is kind of
- 1:14Speaker 2: just transforming the world as we know it right now.
- 1:17Speaker 2: So when we looked into vibe coding, we thought about it,
- 1:20Speaker 2: this might be an interesting topic to pursue. But outside
- 1:25Speaker 2: the name, Sean, outside the cool sounding term, what was
- 1:30Speaker 2: your motivation for covering this topic?
- 1:33Speaker 3: Why did it catch your eye? Well?
- 1:36Speaker 4: I think you and I Tom, we trend towards more
- 1:38Speaker 4: picking up vibes or vibes p vibe orientated, not so
- 1:43Speaker 4: much coding. So I think any any way to bridge
- 1:48Speaker 4: that gap.
- 1:49Speaker 5: That was appealing to me? I like why I was
- 1:51Speaker 5: interested in the topic. And yeah, so let's back up
- 1:54Speaker 5: a second. So vibe coding coined by earlier this year,
- 1:59Speaker 5: coined by Andre Carpathy. He introduced the term for vibe coding.
- 2:03Speaker 5: It's AI assist its software development practice where developers use
- 2:08Speaker 5: natural language prompts to guide in AI in generating, refining,
- 2:12Speaker 5: and debugging code. And as Andre said, it fully giving
- 2:16Speaker 5: into the vibes, embracing exponentials, and forgetting that the code
- 2:21Speaker 5: even exists.
- 2:23Speaker 6: And let me just note too, So this is more
- 2:25Speaker 6: than just kind of a fad.
- 2:28Speaker 5: It is being used by companies like Meta, Google, IBM,
- 2:32Speaker 5: and Microsoft for some of the positives. People are saying
- 2:37Speaker 5: developers especially that it speeds up prototyping. So if you
- 2:41Speaker 5: want to throw away stuff, but you want to test
- 2:43Speaker 5: out something quickly, this can speed up that process. Obviously,
- 2:48Speaker 5: it opens up a lot of questions about if you're
- 2:51Speaker 5: skipping over line by line in code, are you opening
- 2:55Speaker 5: up the door for bigger problems later on? But you know,
- 2:59Speaker 5: as self confessed idiot with some of these things, I
- 3:03Speaker 5: find it to be very interesting and I would love
- 3:07Speaker 5: to vibe code one day.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Weren't you vibe code with me? Yes, I say, Tim.
- 3:13Speaker 2: From an operational perspective, from an infrastructure perspective, does the
- 3:18Speaker 2: vibe code in concept ring any alarm bells?
- 3:20Speaker 3: Fee?
- 3:22Speaker 7: And so I started my educational career in software development,
- 3:27Speaker 7: So my traditional coding goes way back, even though I
- 3:33Speaker 7: didn't make a formal career out of it, and I
- 3:36Speaker 7: get to kind of play the downer on all of this.
- 3:40Speaker 7: Right the alarm bells. I did the same thing Sean.
- 3:43Speaker 7: I just to make sure Ike was in the right
- 3:45Speaker 7: frame of mind. I googled it and I came up
- 3:49Speaker 7: with vibe coding as a software development approach where a
- 3:51Speaker 7: user describes the desired functionality in natural language. Some time
- 3:55Speaker 7: goes back to our episode last week where we're using
- 3:59Speaker 7: language instead of a screen so much to generate things
- 4:03Speaker 7: and in this case, generate code. The one alarm that
- 4:05Speaker 7: the thing that started my alarm bells was the last
- 4:07Speaker 7: sentence of the description. This method accelerates the development of
- 4:12Speaker 7: prototypes and applications, making coding more accessible. So that's the
- 4:17Speaker 7: first thing that rang my alarm bell is is the
- 4:21Speaker 7: coder qualified to discern the output as viable and a
- 4:27Speaker 7: quality product. I tested it, and I said, build me
- 4:30Speaker 7: a website that does that, creates an ROI model based
- 4:34Speaker 7: on these metrics, and it came back with a website
- 4:38Speaker 7: that had some interesting visible things to plug in data.
- 4:43Speaker 7: But when I looked at the output and how it
- 4:45Speaker 7: really was doing the mechanics behind the scene, it wasn't viable.
- 4:49Speaker 7: But if you don't know, if you're just if you're
- 4:51Speaker 7: not an ROI person or a coder, you really if
- 4:56Speaker 7: companies are relying on that method to generate their applications,
- 5:01Speaker 7: you're at the mercy of what the AI model gives you.
- 5:05Speaker 7: So that was the first alarm bell for me. The
- 5:08Speaker 7: second one are you And maybe it's kind of a
- 5:12Speaker 7: linked to that concern, are you qualified enough as a coder.
- 5:17Speaker 7: If you've got to now take that as a template
- 5:18Speaker 7: and take it on. Do you have enough ability to
- 5:22Speaker 7: modify and improve the quality or are you just gonna
- 5:25Speaker 7: iteratively ask AI to make it better. No, that's not
- 5:28Speaker 7: good enough, make it better. So again you're at the
- 5:30Speaker 7: mercy of the AI model and the vibe coder to
- 5:36Speaker 7: get the product. The other alarm bells Tom for me,
- 5:40Speaker 7: were does it it's in this kind of realm of
- 5:48Speaker 7: making it more accessible? Is it really within their role?
- 5:51Speaker 7: We've talked about shadow it, We've talked about shadow AI.
- 5:56Speaker 7: Now this could open up a whole new world of
- 5:58Speaker 7: shadow applications. Is it really their role to develop an application?
- 6:02Speaker 7: Are you starting to cross boundaries into other areas. Can
- 6:06Speaker 7: a line of business say I can't get my IT
- 6:09Speaker 7: developers to create this application, I'm just gonna go do
- 6:11Speaker 7: it on our own. So, security, governance, all of that stuff,
- 6:17Speaker 7: application sprawl is a concern. And then the last one
- 6:21Speaker 7: is standardization. So in my previous organization at an insurance company,
- 6:31Speaker 7: we had five businesses and each of the businesses had
- 6:34Speaker 7: their own application developers, and some used Java, and some
- 6:38Speaker 7: used C plus bus, and some used modern application platforms
- 6:43Speaker 7: and nobody followed the same standard, and that risk here
- 6:46Speaker 7: is here as well. If you're gonna if this causes
- 6:49Speaker 7: a splinter, and now you've got applications developed with different vibes,
- 6:54Speaker 7: how do you handle integrations, how do you handle data sharing,
- 6:57Speaker 7: how do you handle application support? It really it doesn't
- 7:00Speaker 7: alleviate the need to apply standards and governances and controls
- 7:05Speaker 7: to alleviate all of this, and those things are solvable,
- 7:08Speaker 7: but it just making it more accessible to people opens
- 7:12Speaker 7: up a whole can of worms that you've got to
- 7:14Speaker 7: pay attention to.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Really well, said Tim, And it was very interesting you alluded,
- 7:20Speaker 2: as I did, to the last episode that we released
- 7:23Speaker 2: with Rob Wilson, the Death of the screen.
- 7:26Speaker 3: You have a death of the screen is they should
- 7:27Speaker 3: have called the episode of that.
- 7:30Speaker 2: It was in fact called agentic AI at the end
- 7:32Speaker 2: of traditional it t and Rob Wilson is, among other things,
- 7:37Speaker 2: the fascinating author of the Age of Invisible Machines. And
- 7:42Speaker 2: it was a really eye opening conversation for me, and
- 7:46Speaker 2: it also connected very nicely with our chat with Pedro.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Tim and one things that the phrase Pedro used that
- 7:53Speaker 2: then Rob kind of explored in more depth was this
- 7:57Speaker 2: notion that AI differs from individual.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Real employees, from real people in the AI.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Has no skin in the game, and the workplace is
- 8:08Speaker 2: gonna continue to require people who take responsibility for outcomes,
- 8:14Speaker 2: people who take responsibility for things. And I just wonder
- 8:18Speaker 2: if that isn't really what you're flagging. Right obviously, you know,
- 8:22Speaker 2: the functionality here is phenomenal, But there's that is going
- 8:27Speaker 2: to require, as you say, standards is going to require
- 8:30Speaker 2: the human in the loop ain't going anywhere in this
- 8:33Speaker 2: particular part.
- 8:33Speaker 3: The human in the loop.
- 8:34Speaker 7: And I'll use an example. If you're in California on
- 8:37Speaker 7: San Francisco, which I just was recently, way More taxis
- 8:41Speaker 7: driverless taxis are everywhere. When a way more runs a
- 8:44Speaker 7: red light or gets an a fender bender, who gets
- 8:47Speaker 7: the ticket? Where's the human in the in the loop
- 8:49Speaker 7: to take accountability for that problem? Same thing with vibe coding,
- 8:54Speaker 7: right or AI.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I say, blame the passenger, Timber, That's great, I'm onlying there,
- 8:59Speaker 2: you know, over passenger in jail.
- 9:02Speaker 7: Without a doubt the passenger could have said, hey, run
- 9:04Speaker 7: this red light. You don't know what they said.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Yeah, So it is interesting.
- 9:10Speaker 2: You know, we definitely recommend people to check out that
- 9:13Speaker 2: conversation with Rob Wilson, Orianna fascinated who is who is
- 9:19Speaker 2: back with us ladies and gentlemen, I thankfully, uh fascinated
- 9:24Speaker 2: to get to get your insights here. In the chat
- 9:28Speaker 2: before the show, you did raise some concerns about the
- 9:31Speaker 2: question of technical debt and legacy systems and how I
- 9:34Speaker 2: guess this interacts as a challenge, as a standardization challenge
- 9:39Speaker 2: with his very very aggressive novelty encoding. What are your
- 9:45Speaker 2: what are your general reflections and positions?
- 9:49Speaker 8: Yeah, so the thing that really stood out to me
- 9:52Speaker 8: when I started seeing this is how does it scale?
- 9:56Speaker 8: You know, because of all of the issues that Tim
- 9:59Speaker 8: has already re and because I really think about code
- 10:04Speaker 8: in the context of really really big, complex systems. Right,
- 10:10Speaker 8: I've only ever really worked in enterprise level software. It's
- 10:13Speaker 8: never really worked in like websites or apps or anything
- 10:16Speaker 8: where you can make this kind of fine tuning experimental
- 10:21Speaker 8: stuff without it risking really massive downstream effects. And every
- 10:27Speaker 8: single person in place I've worked with has had been
- 10:30Speaker 8: going issues of tech depth, challenges of improving legacy systems,
- 10:36Speaker 8: and also a lot of human problems that go along
- 10:38Speaker 8: with that, Right, So I always think about it in
- 10:40Speaker 8: terms of how do we make our systems human centered?
- 10:44Speaker 8: And I think that some people are going to see
- 10:46Speaker 8: vibe coding as a solution for that, right, Like, oh, well,
- 10:48Speaker 8: it's going to be human centered because I'm going to
- 10:50Speaker 8: customize it to what I want to do. But that
- 10:54Speaker 8: isn't really what makes technology human centered, right. What makes
- 10:59Speaker 8: technology human center is having a process that understands what
- 11:04Speaker 8: people actually need, not just what they think they need
- 11:06Speaker 8: in the moment, that interacts with different things and like
- 11:10Speaker 8: different components in a system in ways that are strategic
- 11:15Speaker 8: and thoughtful and can last right and can be built
- 11:20Speaker 8: on right. Like I think anybody who's really technical will
- 11:23Speaker 8: tell you that an alarming amount of the Internet is
- 11:26Speaker 8: built on very tiny, fragile components, where a very small
- 11:32Speaker 8: like a single issue in a single library, can have
- 11:35Speaker 8: cascading effects all over in an industry. We're recording this
- 11:41Speaker 8: right after having the cloud flare outage, so honestly, we're
- 11:43Speaker 8: feeling that very acutely right now. And I want to
- 11:50Speaker 8: connect that to something that Dina mentioned. I'm going to
- 11:52Speaker 8: quote Tina since she's not here to say it, but
- 11:54Speaker 8: she said that one of the problems with vibe coding
- 11:57Speaker 8: is that it can hurt dex because you're just getting
- 11:59Speaker 8: code from nowhere without schema or context, and I think
- 12:02Speaker 8: that scheme in context is so important to building really
- 12:06Speaker 8: robust code that you need, especially for anything complex.
- 12:12Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
- 12:13Speaker 2: What do you think do you think putting these kinds
- 12:17Speaker 2: of concerns not necessarily to the side, but shelving them
- 12:20Speaker 2: at least for a second. To what degree do you
- 12:24Speaker 2: think this is going to be able to answer the
- 12:26Speaker 2: demand or reflect that demand for more custom solutions by
- 12:30Speaker 2: employees themselves and just for a more nuanced, reflective, personalized system.
- 12:37Speaker 8: Yeah. So I would say, have you ever used open
- 12:40Speaker 8: source software? And have you used good open source software
- 12:43Speaker 8: and bad open source software? So I listen to my
- 12:47Speaker 8: podcasts on something called Antennapod, which an open source platform.
- 12:52Speaker 8: It's really nice. It's super customizable. It's also a little
- 12:55Speaker 8: bit of a pain sometimes because you can customize everything, okay,
- 13:01Speaker 8: because it's an open source project and people wanted it
- 13:03Speaker 8: to do all the things. And one of the reasons
- 13:05Speaker 8: why I like it is also that it's quite lightweight.
- 13:07Speaker 8: So this is a passion project. People have put a
- 13:09Speaker 8: lot of effort into making it do these things in
- 13:13Speaker 8: a way that is effective, right, because it's a much
- 13:16Speaker 8: smaller app than many others and it has all these customizations.
- 13:21Speaker 8: But that requires a lot of skill and a lot
- 13:23Speaker 8: of effort, right, So that's sort of my positive example,
- 13:26Speaker 8: And even that is quite confoluted, right, And there's a
- 13:29Speaker 8: lot of open source projects where you can see that.
- 13:31Speaker 8: It's just it's a complete manner, it's buggy, it's got
- 13:36Speaker 8: lots of overhead. It you know, doesn't have basic features
- 13:41Speaker 8: that you really want, and then it has so much
- 13:44Speaker 8: customization that it's completely impossible to learn how to use.
- 13:47Speaker 8: And that's why I think that it's really important to
- 13:49Speaker 8: have a concrete point of view and a united vision
- 13:55Speaker 8: even when you're trying to think about how to customize
- 13:57Speaker 8: thanks to.
- 13:57Speaker 2: People, any other things you can see where you would
- 14:03Speaker 2: anticipate there could be an impact upon decks, the ability
- 14:08Speaker 2: to effectively manage and monitor decks in an organization any ways,
- 14:13Speaker 2: it could jeopardize the use, for instance, of next being
- 14:16Speaker 2: products or any variety of sm tools that you can
- 14:18Speaker 2: think of.
- 14:21Speaker 8: Well, when I think of how it could have a
- 14:25Speaker 8: negative interaction with DEX, I think part of that is
- 14:32Speaker 8: just you know, the dangers of shadowy Tea. The security stuff.
- 14:35Speaker 8: A lot of the stuff Tim talked about immediately keep
- 14:37Speaker 8: to my mind in terms of it's very hard to
- 14:40Speaker 8: monitor or manage anticipate issues, and especially some of you
- 14:44Speaker 8: who did previously work at a cybersecurity company, one of
- 14:47Speaker 8: the things that is very true cybersecurity is that it
- 14:50Speaker 8: is much much harder to defend because you're constantly trying
- 14:54Speaker 8: to find every single hole and you can never find
- 14:58Speaker 8: all of the possible holes. Of looking holes into your
- 15:02Speaker 8: systems at random at an alarming pace, that makes it
- 15:08Speaker 8: really really impossible to do security.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Well.
- 15:11Speaker 8: I do think the other side of dex application to
- 15:15Speaker 8: sort of the IT perspective, right, So I think that's
- 15:19Speaker 8: also a totally separate question in a way, is okay, well,
- 15:24Speaker 8: how can vibe coding help people who want to automate
- 15:30Speaker 8: processes who want to have custom solutions and technical resources
- 15:34Speaker 8: that they don't currently have, right? And I do you
- 15:37Speaker 8: think that's both a cool application, right? Like I do
- 15:42Speaker 8: think it's a possible positive venue for democratizing coding in
- 15:49Speaker 8: a way, but I do think that it needs systems
- 15:51Speaker 8: in place to manage it to avoid all of these
- 15:54Speaker 8: issues that we're highlighting.
- 15:56Speaker 3: I love it we're moving inside out.
- 15:58Speaker 2: I think everybody be styled with all the cautionary elements,
- 16:02Speaker 2: and we're moving towards the positive visionary usages.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Megan, bring us all the way there.
- 16:08Speaker 2: If you would put putting some of these flaws to
- 16:12Speaker 2: one side, what ways do you envisage or are you
- 16:15Speaker 2: hearing about from the customers you speak to so often
- 16:17Speaker 2: that the vibe coding is beginning to help individuals or
- 16:21Speaker 2: deed organizations.
- 16:23Speaker 9: Wouldn't that be funny. I can't say that I've talked
- 16:26Speaker 9: to anyone in our customer base that is using vibe
- 16:31Speaker 9: coding at the enterprise level, and I think that that's
- 16:34Speaker 9: probably due to the cautionary points that we've made so far.
- 16:38Speaker 9: I think scalability right like what Oreana just mentioned. And yeah,
- 16:43Speaker 9: not to totally just not non answer your question, but
- 16:47Speaker 9: another aspect of this that I was thinking about, obviously,
- 16:50Speaker 9: this vibe coding thing. I'm not a coder at all,
- 16:53Speaker 9: so I wouldn't I don't think I would ever try
- 16:56Speaker 9: it because I have no way of knowing if what
- 16:58Speaker 9: the code it spits out as useful or not. I
- 17:00Speaker 9: think about my own use of these Genai tools, and
- 17:03Speaker 9: I use them right to do some to draft copy
- 17:06Speaker 9: for me to do writing to. Basically, that's kind of
- 17:09Speaker 9: the only thing I use them for is to write
- 17:11Speaker 9: stuff for me. And what I've learned from working with
- 17:14Speaker 9: them for the last however long, is you have to
- 17:16Speaker 9: be really specific and what you want. If you just say, hey,
- 17:19Speaker 9: write me an article about this thing, it's going to
- 17:21Speaker 9: spit you out the most generic, boring like unreadable exactly
- 17:27Speaker 9: with the word count you ask for article with all
- 17:30Speaker 9: the creativity stripped out of it. And you have to
- 17:32Speaker 9: be very want article that covers this thing with this
- 17:34Speaker 9: audience and this tone in voice, cover X, Y and Z.
- 17:37Speaker 9: It's even better if you can give it an outline
- 17:39Speaker 9: and then it will you do something.
- 17:41Speaker 2: But still, I.
- 17:43Speaker 9: Mean, there's a whole thing like justice for the M
- 17:45Speaker 9: dash right, like nobody uses m dashes anymore because it's
- 17:47Speaker 9: such a sign that you're writing was written by Genai
- 17:50Speaker 9: and not by a human being. I think human beings
- 17:52Speaker 9: bring a creativity that Jeni just doesn't replicate. And I
- 17:56Speaker 9: think we've talked about this before, and I'm not a coder,
- 17:58Speaker 9: so I can't say whether that's happening with the vibe
- 18:00Speaker 9: coding as well. If it's just sort of the dumbification
- 18:03Speaker 9: of code output, like the way that it's become the
- 18:06Speaker 9: dumbification of writing output. The things that Jenai writes, they're
- 18:10Speaker 9: just not that inspiring, they're not that fun to read.
- 18:12Speaker 9: They're useful in certain contexts, right, like a marketing copy,
- 18:16Speaker 9: like a landing page or an email copy or whatever.
- 18:19Speaker 9: It follows a rope, standard set up, and so it's
- 18:22Speaker 9: okay that it's not like the most thrilling and exciting
- 18:25Speaker 9: thing you've ever read in your life.
- 18:27Speaker 3: But I don't know.
- 18:28Speaker 9: I think the beauty of having a human solve something
- 18:31Speaker 9: is that we come up with a creative way to
- 18:32Speaker 9: solve a problem. And it's that's the thing that I
- 18:35Speaker 9: think our customers get excited about with decks is that
- 18:37Speaker 9: it requires creative thinking to solve problems that previously it
- 18:41Speaker 9: didn't think they could solve. And now they hear a
- 18:43Speaker 9: pobly like, actually, you know, because we have this dex
- 18:45Speaker 9: data and we have this solution, we can solve for
- 18:47Speaker 9: that vibe coding, I don't know, maybe someone can will
- 18:53Speaker 9: hear me say this and come send me a message
- 18:56Speaker 9: on LinkedIn with all the different ways that vibe coding
- 18:58Speaker 9: has enabled them to be incredibly creative, and I would
- 19:00Speaker 9: love to hear that, but to me, it seems just
- 19:03Speaker 9: like another example of like we're just dumbing down the
- 19:06Speaker 9: output that we're getting out of these things. And every
- 19:10Speaker 9: example I've heard of people using vibe coding has been
- 19:12Speaker 9: to make those sort of small individual projects. A website
- 19:16Speaker 9: that can generate a goofy image, an app that can
- 19:19Speaker 9: generate something kind of silly, or I've been reading articles
- 19:24Speaker 9: about criminals using it to hack into things and ransom people,
- 19:28Speaker 9: which obviously isn't what these companies want. So at the
- 19:31Speaker 9: enterprise level, I think we're going to bump into all
- 19:32Speaker 9: the things we've already identified in this conversation. And I
- 19:37Speaker 9: have not heard about any of our customers using vibe
- 19:40Speaker 9: coding for their own internal software.
- 19:44Speaker 2: It can sound fun, though what you use for you
- 19:47Speaker 2: What did you use tim for your experiment with it?
- 19:50Speaker 7: I don't remember which tool it was.
- 19:53Speaker 3: I'd have to go back.
- 19:53Speaker 7: It was it was a few months back, but it
- 19:57Speaker 7: was it was very similar to Meghan, what you were
- 20:00Speaker 7: talking about, where the result that I got was very simplistic,
- 20:04Speaker 7: It was not as robust as I needed it to be,
- 20:07Speaker 7: and I really felt like pursuing that avenue to get
- 20:11Speaker 7: something better was going to be a waste of my
- 20:13Speaker 7: time because it just wasn't going to get there that
- 20:16Speaker 7: I would be able to do it much better. And
- 20:18Speaker 7: that goes to the skill of the person asking the question.
- 20:21Speaker 7: Maybe if I wasn't an ROI kind of a person,
- 20:24Speaker 7: I would have pursued it for a lot longer, I.
- 20:26Speaker 3: Think, Tom.
- 20:27Speaker 7: It also plays into some of the things we've talked about,
- 20:29Speaker 7: does a I really make you more productive or are
- 20:32Speaker 7: you chasing something that feels more productive but in the
- 20:34Speaker 7: end you're actually wasting more time.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Interesting, and I should add, you know, congratulations to vibe
- 20:40Speaker 2: coding for being the ost Dictionary Word.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Of for year twenty twenty five.
- 20:45Speaker 10: But I will allow Sewan to finish this conversation off
- 20:52Speaker 10: with a prediction Sewan as to whether vibe cozing as
- 20:56Speaker 10: a trend is about to come crashing down in the
- 20:59Speaker 10: new year or we've only seen the beginning of its rise.
- 21:03Speaker 6: I'm gonna say we're only seeing the beginning only because Meta, Google, IBM,
- 21:08Speaker 6: and Microsoft are willing to put it into training modules
- 21:11Speaker 6: and see what it can come back with, and they've
- 21:13Speaker 6: done it before in the past, where there's been big surprises,
- 21:16Speaker 6: So if they're willing to tinker with it, let's not
- 21:21Speaker 6: rate it off just yet.
- 21:22Speaker 2: You don't want to go up against their collective might
- 21:25Speaker 2: too strongly. There's some strong there, well, I think I
- 21:29Speaker 2: think there's certainly something there, and I think there's certainly
- 21:32Speaker 2: some some guardrails suggested by a panel today which we
- 21:36Speaker 2: would all do all do well to keep in mind
- 21:39Speaker 2: as we as we continue to experiment heartily with AI
- 21:44Speaker 2: and in.
- 21:44Speaker 3: So many different areas.
- 21:47Speaker 2: But look, we've just come out of our I would
- 21:49Speaker 2: think of our series of shows celebrating marking our two
- 21:54Speaker 2: hundredth episode as a not just as the Deck Show,
- 21:56Speaker 2: but as Reality Bites as well. We all contributed to
- 22:00Speaker 2: ever to reaching this incredible numerical milestone, and we're just
- 22:05Speaker 2: entering that that period of the year where things start
- 22:09Speaker 2: to wind down and we're going to hear you know,
- 22:11Speaker 2: people who have been listening to the show for years
- 22:13Speaker 2: know that this panel we come together, we hash out
- 22:17Speaker 2: the year it was twenty twenty five and our highlights
- 22:20Speaker 2: and our predictions the next year, and we also Tim
- 22:24Speaker 2: and I will also be talking to returning show favorite
- 22:27Speaker 2: Jeff Right to hear how his years, is that right,
- 22:33Speaker 2: might not even have known that.
- 22:37Speaker 7: By now we can assume is the perennial year.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Then yeah, exactly right, exactly right.
- 22:42Speaker 2: So we hope everybody listening joins us to that, it
- 22:45Speaker 2: joins us to those episodes, and thanks everybody for coming
- 22:50Speaker 2: on to discuss vibe coding and I'll see you very soon.
