Bloomberg and Harvard Are Writing About Vibe Coding. The Mainstream Moment Has Arrived.

Two things happened this week that signal vibe coding has permanently crossed into mainstream consciousness: Bloomberg ran a feature on it under the headline 'The AI Trend Fueling a New Kind of FOMO,' and the Harvard Gazette published a long-read asking whether vibe coding offers a window into our AI future.

Here's what each piece actually argues, what's right and wrong about their takes, and what it means if you're building a career in AI-assisted development.
