Google CEO says ‘vibe coding’ made software development ‘so much more enjoyable’

Biz leaders who are seeking to profit off AI sure do have a positive view of AI.

Finally, the CEO can feel like they’re producing something of value.

Reading this just makes me think of yesterday's post - vibe code in turbo mode, Gemini Antigravty wipes the entire storage drive partition because it missed a quotation in function code it wrote and ran without checking.

Edit: for those who don't frequent HN or reddit every day: https://old.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1p82or6...

bryanrasmussen•23m ago
it used to be you needed to be an idiotic noob to do that to your company but now you can automate it and do it at scale, idiotic noobs are expensive and it costs a lot to hire enough to wreck everything but vibe coding is cheap and inexpensive to bring awesome self-destructive power!
Chance-Device•31m ago
It does though. That’s a separate issue from the inevitable layoffs and any bugs introduced along the way, but he’s not wrong.
WhyOhWhyQ•29m ago
It depends on how you use it. I was running 15 agents at once, 12 hours a day for a month straight because it was more optimal to add more, and that wasn't very enjoyable. Now I'm back to writing code the enjoyable way, with minor LLM assistance here and there.
bluefirebrand•27m ago
Speak for yourself. I think he's extremely wrong

I think if all you care about is the outcome then sure, you might enjoy AI coding more

If you enjoy the problem solving process (and care about quality) then doing it by hand is way, way more enjoyable

Chance-Device•24m ago
If you don’t care about outcome then all you’re doing is playing a video game.
quuxplusone•19m ago
Sure, but the headline wasn't "Google CEO says ‘vibe coding’ made software development ‘so much less like a video game.’" In fact since many people think video games are enjoyable, making software development less gamelike might make it less enjoyable.

(But would further gamification make it more enjoyable? No, IMO. So maybe all we learn here is that people don't like change in any direction.)

You know there are lots of things that make software development more enjoyable

Having a private office instead of an open floor plan for instance

Or not working in the JIRA two week sprint format

Or not having to work with offshore teams that push the burden of quality control onto you

My point is I bet that the Google CEO (and basically every other software CEO) doesn't actually care if software development is enjoyable or not

Yes it helps you write all the boiler plate code to do straightforward repetetive things. What would be even better would be simple code to do simple things

My wife noticed that I don't mind being interrupted when programming anymore; between the less-intense level of concentration required now and the always-present transcript, it's not like a collapsing mental house of cards to look up for a few minutes and talk about something else.
thepasswordapp•22m ago
Been "vibe coding" for 8 months building thepassword.app - AI browser automation that changes passwords across websites.

The enjoyment factor is real. The iteration speed with Claude Code is insane. But the model's suggestions still need guardrails.

For security-focused apps especially, you can't just accept what the LLM generates. We spent weeks ensuring passwords never touch the LLM context - that's not something a vibe-coded solution catches by default.

The productivity gains are real, but so is the need for human oversight on the security-critical parts.

How do you ensure this? That pattern could be a useful feature in hundreds of apps being built by other developers if you turn it into a library
