Vibe Coding: The New Normal of Software Engineering in 2025?

Paul Barlow

This article from datapro.news explores the emerging software engineering trend of "vibe coding" in 2025, where AI language models assist developers by transforming natural language prompts into code. Originating in Silicon Valley, this approach allows developers to act more as "directors," potentially accelerating development and changing the roles of both junior and senior engineers. While it promises increased productivity and lower barriers to entry, concerns exist around skill development and code quality, necessitating robust oversight. The rise of vibe coding also has significant implications for data management and analytics teams, requiring adaptation in skills, workflows, and risk management.
