Why Startups Should Pay Attention To ‘Vibe Coding’ — And Approach With Caution

GeekWire’s startup coverage documents the Pacific Northwest entrepreneurial scene. Sign up for our weekly startup newsletter , and check out the GeekWire funding tracker and venture capital directory .(BigStock Image)There’s a trendy new term going around startup circles that is sparking questions about how AI coding tools could change the way early stage tech companies are built.Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI and a Stanford Ph.D., established the phrase “vibe coding” in a post on X last month. “There’s a new kind of coding I call ‘vibe coding,’ where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists,” he wrote.There are various interpretations of “vibe coding,” but the general idea revolves around using AI tools to write code using simple text instructions, with little human intervention and without full knowledge of what’s going on under the hood.“I’m building a project or webapp, but it’s not really coding — I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works,” Karpathy wrote.Engineers debate whether this is an effective way to build software products, and what vibe coding is really all about.But perhaps the more important takeaway is the power of these tools and the impact on startups.Companies have been using generative AI to help with coding for several years now, but more advanced tools such as Cursor and Windsurf have supercharged the trend.“If you’re a startup and you’re not taking advantage of this, you better start experimenting, because this thing is here and it’s real,” said Kevin Leneway, a longtime Seattle-area software engineer. “It’s not magic, but it is very valuable.”Leaner and cheaperLeneway, a former startup CTO and developer evangelist at Microsoft, has spent the past year building an AI coding assistant and more recently published videos detailing his experience with Cursor.Part of Leneway’s current job at Pioneer Square Labs is to help quickly build and test new startup ideas. And AI coding tools have been a key part of his workflow. He said he’s writing three times as much code.“This is one of those rare opportunities where there’s actually a very big advantage for startups because you can move so fast,” he said
