The Rise of Vibe Coding: From Snippets to Shipping
Tracking the evolution of AI-assisted development platforms as they move beyond simple code generation into full production deployment, enabling non-engineers to merge PRs and ship real software at scale.
Trajectory
AI coding tools are rapidly shifting from IDE autocomplete features to end-to-end platform integrations that handle Git workflows and deployments automatically.
Watch for: More infrastructure platforms will announce 'zero-setup' deployment pipelines specifically designed for AI-generated code and non-technical users.
