"Vibe" programming is the new goto for advanced programming using Agentic AI.

[moodz]

Example : Install VSCode, install github copilot plugin in VSCode, connect to Claude 4 coding AI, select agent mode.

Now just tell Claude that you want a program ( eg schematic editor with inbuilt state machine diagrammer and conversion to VHDL )

.... and Claude just does it !

of course I customised it by telling Claude to colorise the menu bars, add zoom, hover select, drag, pan, coordinates, connect to database.

So in around 10 minutes you have 5000 lines of code that does all this and more. Which would probably take a month to write and debug manually.

Because Claude is in agent mode it ( ie Claude ) can operate your computer .... can operate any app or program that has CLI ( eg all terminals etc )
If the program is not on your computer ... Claude can download it and install it without you lifting a finger.
( prob best not to do this on a computer where you do your banking LOL )

So you just say "build it" "launch it" etc.

So you could say "build me a induction coil designer where I can input the required parameters and then print a howto for making this coil.

Of course, AI will take over all the programming work.
And that's bad news for developers.
But good news for those who want to learn faster.
Can developers survive?
Of course, if they find their place under the sun, first of all in the form of a niche.
But AI is still very far from the state of human intuition.
Very good code is still hard to write without human supervision.
I write code in C++ and recently started playing with Python.
And it was only with Python that I clearly saw all the shortcomings of AI.
Because Python is not as powerful as C++ (Python is a poor derivative created from C++) and AI has a much harder time dealing with such cases.
A few weeks ago I did a test. I gave the same task to the AI to do but specifically in C++ and specifically in Python.
In the C++ version, only a few minor interventions were required from me, while in the Python version I had to completely correct most of the code.
Any more complex mathematical algorithm; Python is immediately in big trouble.
Conclusion; AI is a very dangerous competitor! But it's still far from completely pushing the developer out of the game.
Of course, I have to limit this to only the AIs that are available to me as an ordinary citizen.
It is to be assumed that there are AI systems that are not for "mortals" and that are more powerful.
But a niche will always be found.
There is a similar analogy in the MD world.
How to survive next to the big ones?
And yet, small DIY niches still survive and exist.
