The rise of the professional vibe coder (a new AI-era job)

Introduction to Vibe Coding00:00

Lazar Yavanovich is the first official vibe coding engineer at Lovable, at the top 0.1% elite level of vibe coding. It's a dream job. Vibe coding became a job by building in public; you don't need a company to hire you—you can hire yourself as a professional vibe coder first. You've never coded and don't want to look at the code. Coding is going to be like calligraphy: "Oh my god, you wrote that code. That's so amazing." It's going to be so rare it's going to become an art. The Venn diagrams of engineer, designer, PM used to be very separate; now they're converging. AI, regardless of your background, is an amplifier. If you don't know what you're doing, you're just going to produce garbage faster. An emerging core skill is learning clarity in the ask of the AI.

I like to use the Aladdin and the genie analogy. You rub the lamp, a genie comes out. I'll grant you three wishes. The first wish is I want to be taller. Genie makes me 13 ft tall because I was not specific.

Optimizing 100% of time today on good judgment, clarity, quality, taste.
