So, in this book, Vibe Coding, I remember last time you were on the podcast, this book was about to come out and I was reading an early version of it or so.
Why people recommend it
Vibe Coding by Gene Kim and Steve Yegge is a book exploring the intersection of modern software development, artificial intelligence tools, and shifting industry practices. Gergely Orosz brought up the book across multiple episodes of The Pragmatic Engineer, including Amazon, Google and Vibe Coding with Steve Yegge and From IDEs to AI Agents with Steve Yegge. Orosz mentioned that he had read an early version of the text prior to its official release and noted that even the title sparked heated debates regarding precise definitions. In their discussions, Orosz asked Yegge about specific examples detailed in the book, such as using artificial intelligence to build a game following Yegge's retirement. Furthermore, Orosz explored a prediction made within the book concerning employment impact, initially expecting Yegge to argue that developer jobs would decline, and questioned the rationale behind Yegge's counter-prediction that engineering jobs would actually increase.

“The only advice I would give people I I would say look look because our book is 300 pages. How do you write 300 pages about vibe coding? Can it really be that hard? And the answer is Gan and I spent, you know, five months.”
“And Jean Kim, my amazing co-author, who's, you know, he's he's an author and researcher who I think probably knows everybody in the entire world who's everybody. And uh and he and I are both just unbelievably excited about vibe coding”
