Vibe Coding: A Growing Industry Reshaping App Creation
Vibe Coding—where anyone can build an app by describing it in plain language—isn’t a gimmick; it’s a fast-growing industry in 2025. Named by AI expert Andrej Karpathy earlier this year, it’s powered by tools like Cursor , Codeium m, Lovable , V0, Replit , and Bolt are letting non-developers create software with AI’s help. This shift is opening up app development to new players, and it’s picking up steam. Here’s what’s driving it, where it’s headed, and why it’s worth your attention.
Coding used to be for trained developers only. Not anymore. Vibe Coding lets anyone—entrepreneurs, designers, hobbyists—turn ideas into apps without years of study. You type, “I want an app to log my runs,” and AI writes the code. It’s not perfect, but it works, and it’s bringing fresh ideas to the table. On X, someone noted, “Vibe coding is creating a flood of new apps—great for accessibility, rough for quality.” No hard stats yet, but the trend is clear: more people are jumping in, building things we’ve never seen.
