About this episode

Vibe coding exploded into the technology conversation by promising something radical: functional websites, dashboards, presentations, and software created largely through natural language.

But has the excitement already peaked?

Jason Todd Wade examines Lovable, Base44, Claude Code, and the broader shift from traditional software development toward AI-directed creation. He explains why the current slowdown may represent the trough between initial hype and mass adoption—and why Lovable could emerge as the defining consumer platform of the category.

Vibe coding is not disappearing. It may be preparing to replace a meaningful portion of conventional software.
