Everyone should learn to vibe code, according to Andrew Ng<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The bar to coding is now lower than it ever has been,” Ng said in a talk at Snowflake’s “Build” conference on Monday. “People that code, be it CEOs and marketers, recruiters, not just software engineers, will really get more done than ones that don’t.”<\/p>\n

Ng is a Stanford professor and the founder of Google Brain. He now runs several AI-focused businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He added that it is a “wonderful time” for people to build something they’re passionate about because they can be done in less time and at costs that are much lower than ever before.<\/p>\n

But he suggested using AI-assisted coding, also called “vibe coding.”<\/p>\n

“Don’t code by hand. Don’t do the old way,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Get AI to help you to code,” Ng said. “And that will make people in all job functions much more productive and have more fun.”<\/p>\n

Ng said that computer science majors are seeing an uptick in unemployment because “universities haven’t adapted the curricula fast enough for AI coding.”<\/p>\n

“Even I can’t hire enough people that really know AI,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ng joins a list of tech executives hyping vibe coding tools and how they’re making software development more accessible, even for non-tech roles.<\/p>\n

Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know<\/p>\n

Last month, Jensen Huang name-checked three vibe coding startups <\/a>in his list of six companies that he says will be part of the human-digital workforce revolution.<\/p>\n

“Future workforces in enterprise will be a combination of humans and digital humans. Some of them will be OpenAI-based, and some of it would be Harvey-based or Open Evidence or Cursor or Replit or Lovable,” the Nvidia CEO said in an interview with Citadel Securities.<\/p>\n

In a September podcast, Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said AI coding tools like Cursor have helped him build prototypes faster<\/a> as someone with a non-technical background.<\/p>\n

“Rather than disturbing my poor engineers and product people with what is half good ideas and half bad ideas, now I test it myself,” he said. “I come say, ‘Look, I’ve actually made this work, this is how it works, what do you think, could we do it this way?'”<\/p>\n

In June, Business Insider reported that vibe coding is no longer a nice-to-have skill.<\/p>\n

Job listings <\/a>from Visa, Reddit, DoorDash, and a host of startups showed that the companies explicitly required vibe coding experience or familiarity with AI code generators like Cursor and Bolt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everyone should learn to vibe code, according to Andrew Ng. “The bar to coding is now lower than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,363,364,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-129362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
