Just over a year ago, OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy coined the term “vibe coding” and it’s exactly what it sounds like. In a post on X, he wrote that it’s where “you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”

What is vibe coding? AI coding with Claude, Codex, and Gemini, explained
Since then, coders from all backgrounds — and folks with zero experience — have tapped into their vibes to make apps and websites. Vibe coding platforms, powered by AI models like Claude, Codex, and Gemini, have gained traction as a way to give normies a toolset to code whatever they want, without writing a single line of script.
Tech behemoths like Amazon and bustling Silicon Valley startups even have their coders using it. It’s doing the grunt work for now, but they say it’s opening up a whole new world of possibilities. One possibility: It takes their job. But it’s a trade-off that some of them are willing to make.
Clive Thompson wrote a book about this and spent time with over 70 vibe coders to understand how the technology is upending the industry and if this is the end of computer programming as we know it. On Today, Explained, co-host Sean Rameswaram dug into these questions and even vibe coded a simple website while doing it.
Below is an excerpt of the conversation, edited for length and clarity. There’s much more in the full podcast, so listen to Today, Explained wherever you get podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Pandora, and Spotify.
You spent a lot of time hanging out with coders who were vibe coding. And from what I could tell from reading your piece in the New York Times Magazine is that they’re not vibe coding the same way that I was vibe coding.
No, they’re doing something that’s a lot more aggressive and ambitious. What they’re doing is they are using multiple agents, kind of swarms of agents at the same time. If they’re using Claude Code or Codex or Gemini they will have it wired into their laptops. Those agents can create files, destroy files. They can take code that’s been written, they can push it live into production in the world.
And they will also work little teams. So when they want to create a piece of software, sometimes they’ll write, like, a spec, like a page saying, “Here’s what I want to do.” Or sometimes they’ll just talk to the agent. But they’ll be kind of talking to the lead agent that’s going to be the head of the team and they’ll talk to it and say, “Here’s what I want you to do. What do you think? Give me your ideas.” And they’ll sort of go back and forth generating a plan. And when they’re confident that this top agent understands what is to be done, they’ll say, “All right. Go do it.”
And that one will spawn off several subagents. It will have one agent that’s writing code, another one that is testing the code. It’s quite wild to watch them do this. And sometimes if it does something wrong, they’ll have to yell at it. They’ll be like, “This is unacceptable.” Or they’ll say things like, you know, “This is embarrassing. You’re humiliating me.”
And I said to him, “What’s up with that? Does that language improve the sort of output of these agents?” And he was like, “I couldn’t prove it. But generally we find that when we sort of reprimand them a little bit, they become a little more reliable.”
Can you help us understand just how much time, money, human labor is being saved by vibe coding at the level that you observed?
Yeah, it can be really significant. They’re most significant when someone is building something new from scratch. The startup founders, one- or two-person, three-person shops, they’re like, “I need to get to market fast. There might be 10 other people with this idea. I got to beat them.” It’s dizzying. Some of those people were telling me that they were working 20 times faster than they would on their own. Stuff that would normally have taken them a day now takes half an hour.
But at a very large and mature company like Amazon or Google, you’ve got billions of lines of existing code and if one little part of it stops working, that could cascade through everything. So those folks are definitely using the agents, but they are less likely to be pushing stuff rapidly out. They’re more likely to be looking carefully at it and putting it through what’s known as code review, where multiple humans look at it and go, “Oh, okay, does that work?” So for them, basically it’s like a 10 percent improvement in terms of the velocity of productivity of the engineers, how fast they go from having an idea to making it happen.
And what’s really interesting, and you may have discovered this too, in your vibe coding: a lot of engineers told me that it was even less about speed than about the ability to experiment with a bunch of ideas and see which one might really work.
In the before times, you’d have an idea for a feature. Are you really going to spend six weeks developing it just to discover that it’s not really what you thought it was going to be?
Now, well, let’s just do 10 different versions of that over the next week and let’s look at all of them and then we can pick the one we want. You might not necessarily have gone faster, but the feature that you’ve got is exactly the one you wanted and you know because you held it in your hands.
A lot of tech layoffs in the past few years, and now we’re talking about how vibe coding has dramatically overturned the norms in engineering. How are developers feeling about that?
Well, here’s the thing. So there is definitely a civil war insofar as there is the majority of people that I spoke to, and I reached out to a very wide array — I talked to 75 developers.
And I actively wanted to talk to ones that didn’t like AI because I wanted to know their feelings. It’s a minority of people that are really hotly opposed, but they’re very, very strongly opposed. They don’t like the fact that these are trained on stolen materials. They don’t like the fact that it uses tons of energy. They don’t like the fact that they think it’s going to de-skill [people].
Why do you think they’re not the majority, when this is so clearly going to replace so many of them and bypass all of their ethical, moral concerns and objections?
I think it’s because for a lot of developers it’s just such a delightful experience in the short term of going from everything being a slow slog to it being like, “Oh my God, all these ideas and things I wanted to do, I can now try them and do them.”
Because it’s fun, basically.
It’s enormously fun. The pleasure of coding used to be that there were a lot of these little wins when you got something working. Those little wins have gone away because you’re not doing that bug fixing, you’re not doing that line writing.
So the big wins are just coming in avalanches and it’s very intoxicating. Also, there are ones who essentially don’t think that those bad labor things are going to obtain. They think there’s a potential that more [jobs] will get created in areas that they have previously been unable to be created.
Give it five years for us. Does this harken the end of computer programming as we know it?
No, I would not go so far as to say that it ends in five years. I do think it becomes something very different potentially. I still think — everyone told me, and I believe — that you still need some understanding of the way a code base works to do the complicated things.
Weirdly, what you might see is something a little different, which is the explosion of code in areas where there is currently none. There’s a bazillion people out there that are code-adjacent. You work in accounting, you are a wizard at Excel, and you can import data if you’re given the ability now to have an agent say, “Okay, could you bring more data in?”
There is going to be this really weird world where there’s a lot of customized software for an audience of two, three people. We have thought of software historically as something that only exists if 10,000 people or a million people want it because it costs a lot of money to make it.
But if you can now start making it for next to nothing, you can start using it the way that we use Post-it notes. Put it all over the place. I need to jot this idea down. I’m going to make this happen. And maybe this software solves one problem for this afternoon and we never use it again. Software starts becoming almost disposable.

After pressure from regulatory committees about fears of Chinese spies and botnets, the FCC has placed a ban on all new foreign-made consumer routers.
TP-Link may be affected by latest US ban
Regulators have become increasingly interested in routers after Chinese brands took more than 65% market share during the pandemic. US router makers like Netgear pushed back with lawsuits and lobbying, and it seems to have borne some fruit, though the result may cause problems for everyone.
According to a report from Reuters, the FCC has deemed all foreign-made routers a national security concern. This seems to imply that the United States wants all routers manufactured in the country via “secure supply chains.”

Delve, a Y Combinator-backed compliance startup accused of fabricating certifications for its customers, has disabled the “book a demo” feature on its website.
The controversy, detailed last week in a Substack post by an anonymous whistleblower known as “DeepDelver,” has also apparently led Insight Partners to scrub an article explaining its $32 million investment in the startup. DeepDelver, who claims to be a former client, alleged that Delve, which was valued at $300 million during its Series A funding round last year, fabricated compliance data for its customers.
The original text of the article, written by Insight Partners managing directors Teddie Wardi and Praveen Akkiraju, among others, and titled, “Scaling AI-native compliance: How Delve is saving companies time and money on compliance busywork,” remains viewable here via the Wayback Machine, an internet archive that preserves snapshots of web pages.
Delve’s co-founders Karun Kaushik and Selin Kocalar, as well as Insight Partners, did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.
On its website, Delve claims to have helped customers such as Microsoft, Chase, PayPal, American Express, and the AI search company Perplexity cut “hundreds of hours” of compliance busywork. However, it remains unclear how many of these companies are still active users of the platform.
Founded in 2023, Delve says it leverages AI to automate the process of obtaining security and regulatory certifications, including SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR — standards that govern data security, health information privacy, and European data protection, respectively.
In their Substack post, DeepDelver alleged that Delve “fabricated evidence of board meetings, tests, and processes that never happened,” then forced customers to “choose between adopting fake evidence or performing mostly manual work with little real automation or AI.”

The post further alleges that Delve’s platform rubber-stamps its own reports rather than undergoing a second layer of independent auditing.
Delve responded to the accusations by saying it does not issue compliance reports at all, and that instead it is an “automation platform” that ingests information about compliance and then provides auditors with access to that information.
Delve also said that its customers “can opt to work with an auditor of their choosing or opt to work with one from Delve’s network of independent, accredited third-party audit firms.” Those auditors, the startup said, are “established firms used broadly across the industry, including by other compliance platforms.”
In response to the accusation that it’s providing customers with “fake evidence,” Delve countered that it’s simply offering “templates to help teams document their processes in accordance with compliance requirements, as do other compliance platforms.”
While the company is denying DeepDelver’s allegations, the disabling of the “book a demo” function and the scrubbing of Insight Partners’ investment thesis article suggest that the startup is in damage control, and that investors may be distancing themselves from the company.
Ask most truckers about their must-haves in a good semi-truck, and you might get answers like quality seats, a reliable power supply, and practical storage space. Having tires on the wheels might seem like too obvious an answer, although it seems one trucker in Canada didn’t have “make sure all the tires are still there” on their checklist. The Ontario Provincial Police recently issued a warning on social media to remind drivers that they should always check their tires before traveling after pulling over a truck on Highway 17. According to the post, the truck had driven more than 60 miles with one tire missing.
The driver of the vehicle is now facing multiple charges of unsafe operation of a vehicle as a result. According to CTV News, the unnamed 41-year-old driver was from Calgary, while the tractor and trailer were operated by a company in Steinbach. The company was also hit with charges due to the vehicle’s unsafe condition. Police took the vehicle off the road after the stop, with repairs required before it could resume service.
U.S. truckers can remove one tire in certain situations
Road rules can vary between the U.S. and Canada, and there are plenty of common U.S. driving habits that can get you a ticket north of the border. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, U.S. truckers are allowed to remove one defective tire from a set of dual tires as long as the weight on the remaining tires does not exceed the legal limit.
However, that is assuming they have four tires on an axle to begin with. Images provided by the Ontario Provincial Police show the stopped truck did not have dual tires, leaving one rim in contact with the road. As such, it would have quickly attracted the attention of local law enforcement on either side of the border.
Even drivers who meticulously keep track of the condition of their tires will eventually have to replace them, and changing a truck tire is harder than you’d think. Attempting to change a semi-truck tire without knowing what you’re doing can result in injury, and so it’s best left to the professionals.
In the blue corner, we have the VENUS FLYTRAP! In the red corner, we have the underdog of the century, AN ENTIRE PARTICLE ACCELERATOR. Yes, you read that right. When you have a particle accelerator, it’s only second nature to throw anything you can into it. That’s why [Electron Impressions] put a poor fly-eating trap into their accelerator.
The match-up isn’t quite as arbitrary as it might seem at first. The flytrap’s main mechanism of trapping and digesting insects relies heavily on intracellular ion movement. Many cells along the inside of the trap have hair-activated calcium channels that respond to a fly landing on its surface. This ion movement then creates an action potential, which propagates along the entire surface, triggering closing. As the potential moves across different cells, other ions leave and create osmotic pressure. This pressure is what creates the mechanical movement.
Of course, this makes it no surprise when the plant finds itself under the ionizing radiation that every single head closes at once. While this is a cool demonstration, there is a slight side effect of killing every single cell by ripping apart the trap’s DNA.
Well, who would have guessed that the underdog accelerator would have won… Anyways, the DNA being ripped apart is far from ideal for repeatability. If you want to learn more about genetic features that SHOULD be repeated, then make sure to check out the development of open-source insulin!
Only revealed publicly last week, X rival Bluesky has confirmed it raised a $100m Series B round in April last year under Jay Graber, led by Bain Capital Crypto.
The April 2025 funding round was led by Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from Alumni Ventures, Anthos Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Knight Foundation and True Ventures.
“In the months since, we’ve focused on scaling our team to meet the rapid growth of both the AT Protocol (atproto) and Bluesky app,” Bluesky said in a statement revealing the funding. “We’re excited to share more as we move into a new era of leadership and further growth.”
Bluesky confirmed the raise was led by Jay Graber, who recently announced she was stepping aside as CEO to become chief innovation officer and to focus on “building the future of open social infrastructure”.
It said the funding has given the social media platform “the foundation upon which to build the future of the open social web without compromising our mission and values”.
Bluesky raised its Series A round in October 2024, and has since grown from 13m users to more than 43m. Bluesky says the “Atmosphere” – the ecosystem of builders, apps and users on atproto – has also been expanding.
“Every week, people use over a thousand apps built on atproto,” the statement said. “Every month, we see over 400,000 SDK downloads. The Atmosphere currently contains about 20bn public records – the posts, likes, comments and other interactions that bring the ecosystem to life.”
Bluesky was first announced in 2019 as a Twitter-funded project that aimed to create an “open and decentralised standard for social media”. It began as an invite-only app and had more than 3m sign-ups before it went open access.
Graber had led the decentralised social media platform since 2021, having worked on it when it was a research project.
On March 9 she said Bluesky needed “a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution”, while she returns to what she does best – “building new things”.
“As part of this transition, Toni Schneider, former CEO of Automattic [the company behind WordPress] and partner at True Ventures, will join our team as interim CEO, while our board runs a search for a permanent chief executive,” said Graber.
When Elon Musk’s ownership of X led to the removal of moderators and previously banned extreme voices were allowed back onto the platform, many flocked to Bluesky as a more palatable social network, and it saw rapid growth in users. However, in recent times its growth has slowed somewhat, although it has a considerable user base of 43m.

A Royal Family Member Just Backed a $121 Million Crypto Stablecoin in Malaysia and the Market Is Taking Notice
Malaysia’s digital asset scene is getting a fresh wave of attention after a royal linked project moved into the spotlight with a major stablecoin plan. The development has put crypto back at the center of financial conversations in the country, especially because it involves a ringgit backed token tied to a member of the Johor royal family and an initial 500 million ringgit investment, which is about 121 million US dollars. Bloomberg reported that the project is linked to Bullish Aim and its RMJDT stablecoin, a token designed for payments and backed by local currency cash deposits and short term Malaysian government bonds.
For Malaysia, this is not just another digital token story. It lands at a time when the country is exploring how blockchain, regulated digital finance, and real world payment systems can fit into a more modern financial ecosystem. That is why the market is taking notice. A royal linked endorsement brings visibility, credibility, and curiosity, and it immediately raises questions about how crypto stablecoins could eventually be used in payments, trade, and domestic business activity.
Why This Announcement Matters in Malaysia
The stablecoin story matters because Malaysia has often taken a cautious and structured approach to financial innovation. Local regulators, banks, corporate groups, and investors have generally preferred measured progress rather than uncontrolled hype. When a high profile figure becomes associated with a ringgit backed stablecoin, the conversation shifts from speculation alone to practical use cases and long term relevance.
A high profile signal for digital finance
The royal connection gives the project a different kind of weight in the Malaysian market. It does not automatically mean mass adoption will happen overnight, but it does increase public awareness. Many people who may have ignored digital assets in the past are now more likely to pay attention because the initiative appears more serious, more visible, and more connected to national financial interests.
A ringgit focused narrative
What makes this especially important for Malaysia is that the token is built around the ringgit rather than a foreign currency. That local angle changes the discussion. Instead of being seen only as another global digital asset play, it starts to look like a Malaysia centric financial experiment that could one day support payments, settlements, and cross border activity in a way that reflects local priorities. Bloomberg said the token is pegged to the Malaysian ringgit and backed by ringgit linked reserves, which makes the project stand out from dollar based stablecoin narratives that usually dominate headlines.
This is why the market reaction goes beyond simple excitement. Investors and businesses are trying to understand whether this could become a stepping stone toward more localized digital finance infrastructure.
What the $121 Million Figure Is Signaling
The reported 500 million ringgit commitment has become one of the biggest reasons the story is drawing attention. In financial terms, the number matters because it suggests scale, ambition, and long term planning. Smaller token launches can often be dismissed as experiments, but a project linked to 121 million US dollars immediately signals something more substantial. Bloomberg reported that the initial 500 million ringgit investment was tied to plans for a digital asset treasury company alongside the stablecoin effort.
A move that feels bigger than publicity
The size of the investment creates the impression that this is not only about headlines. Market participants tend to take larger commitments more seriously because significant capital usually implies detailed planning, legal structuring, and an intention to build something durable. In Malaysia, where trust and credibility are essential in finance, that matters a lot.
A bridge between traditional wealth and new technology
The deal also carries symbolic importance. It represents a meeting point between traditional influence and emerging technology. That combination often grabs attention because it suggests digital finance is no longer limited to startups and niche investors. Instead, it begins to enter spaces associated with established power, legacy capital, and institutional thinking.
For Malaysia, that symbolism could be just as powerful as the money itself. It tells the market that blockchain based finance is being noticed at the highest levels, and that alone can shift sentiment.
What This Could Mean for Malaysia’s Financial Future
The real question is not whether the headline is big. It clearly is. The deeper question is what happens next and whether the stablecoin can contribute to meaningful financial use cases inside Malaysia.
Payments and business settlement potential
Stablecoins are often discussed as faster and more efficient tools for moving value. If a ringgit backed token is properly structured and used within defined ecosystems, it could help support more efficient settlement between businesses, digital commerce platforms, or cross border commercial networks. That possibility is one reason stablecoins continue to attract attention globally.
Corporate interest is already growing
This story also arrives against a broader backdrop of rising corporate curiosity in Malaysia. In February, DRB Hicom said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Geno to explore a ringgit backed stablecoin for use within its ecosystem and selected external participants. That shows the idea of a Malaysian stablecoin is no longer limited to one headline grabbing project.
Trust will decide everything
Still, visibility alone is not enough. For this project to matter beyond the news cycle, the market will want clarity, compliance, reserve transparency, and a clear understanding of how the token will actually be used. Malaysians are increasingly open to digital finance, but they are also more alert to risks than before. Confidence will depend on governance and execution, not only on prestige.
That is why this moment feels important. It may mark a shift in perception, but the next stage will depend on whether the project can convert attention into practical value.
Conclusion
A royal family linked stablecoin backed by a reported 500 million ringgit commitment has given Malaysia one of its most talked about digital finance stories in recent months. The size of the investment, the ringgit based structure, and the high profile backing have combined to create real market interest rather than passing curiosity. Bloomberg’s reporting on RMJDT and the parallel corporate interest seen in Malaysia suggest that stablecoins are now being discussed in a more serious national context.
For Malaysia, the significance of this story lies in what it represents. It shows that digital assets are moving closer to mainstream financial conversation, with local currency relevance and stronger institutional visibility. The market is taking notice because this no longer looks like a distant global trend. It looks increasingly like a Malaysian story.
Users can now text Claude Code using Discord and Telegram.
Anthropic is responding to the OpenClaw frenzy by connecting Claude Code into text channels, allowing users to control the bot via a two-way chat.
Peter Steinberger’s open source project OpenClaw has managed to capture a large audience since launching in November. The tool is especially popular in China, where OpenAI and Anthropic do not provide their services commercially.
Chinese technology leaders, including Alibaba, Baidu, ByteDance, Tencent and MiniMax have already launched OpenClaw-based apps in the country. Tencent launched a new tool on Sunday (22 March) that lets its WeChat messaging platform integrate with OpenClaw agents.
OpenClaw’s appeal to a large audience lies in its low barrier to entry. It lets users create personal AI agents – for a variety of tasks – that can be accessed and instructed via chat apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord.
However, personal agents such as OpenClaw need to be given access to a user’s computer (the extent varies, depending on the use case), increasing the risk of cybersecurity incidents.
The recent strong agentic AI uptake has moved China to restrict state-run enterprises and government agencies from running OpenClaw apps on office computers.
Anthropic is trying to counter OpenClaw’s appeal by offering a similar feature called ‘Claude Code Channels’, with a stronger brand identity and added security features. According to Anthropic, admins can manage channels, and every approved channel plugin maintains a sender ‘allow-list’.
A channel is a model context protocol server, the standard for connecting AI apps to external systems.
The channels let users text and instruct the coding bot via Discord and Telegram. Previously, Claude Code users could only interact with the agents via the Claude desktop app, terminal, supported developer environments or the Claude mobile app.
The potential security issues associated with OpenClaw have also inspired other offshoots, including Nvidia’s open source stack NemoClaw, AI start-up Kilo’s KiloClaw, and NanoClaw.
Meanwhile, Google plans to develop an AI agent that can navigate the Chrome browser and complete tasks on behalf of a user, reported Wired recently.
Earlier this month, Meta snapped up the viral ‘human-free’ platform for AI agents called Moltbook, developed using OpenClaw technology. A month earlier, OpenAI had poached its creator.

Graphics calculators are one of those strange technological cul-de-sacs. They rely on outdated technology and should not be nearly as expensive as they are, but market effects somehow keep prices well over $100 to this day. Given that fact, you might like to check out an open-source solution instead.
NumOS comes to us from [El-EnderJ]. It’s a scientific and graphic calculator system built to run on the ESP32-S3 with an ILI9341 screen. It’s intended to rival calculators like the Casio fx-991EX ClassWiz and the TI-84 Plus CE in terms of functionality. To that end, it has a full computer algebra system and a custom math engine to do all the heavy lifting a graphic calculator is expected to do, like symbolic differentiation and integration. It also has a Natural V.P.A.M-like display—if you’re unfamiliar with Casio’s terminology, it basically means things like fractions and integrals are rendered as you’d write them on paper rather than in uglier simplified symbology.
If you’ve ever wanted a graphics calculator that you could really tinker with down to the nuts and bolts, this is probably a great place to start. With that said, don’t expect your local school or university to let you take this thing into an exam hall. They’re pretty strict on that kind of thing these days.
We’ve seen some neat hacks on graphics calculators before, like this TI-83 running CircuitPython. If you’re doing your own magic with these mathematical machines, don’t hesitate to notify the tips line.
Elon Musk took the stage over the weekend to announce a new partnership between Tesla, SpaceX and xAI to build a $25 billion chip-making factory in Austin, Texas, called Terafab.
Acknowledging Samsung, TSMC and other chipmakers, Musk said the Terafab project needs to get off the ground because existing semiconductor partners aren’t making chips fast enough. If built, Terafab would be the largest semiconductor manufacturing plant in the world.
Bringing more semiconductor facilities to the US isn’t new. The CHIPS Act of 2022 saw a dramatic rise in announcements for further investments in such facilities on American soil. Nvidia began manufacturing chips in its Arizona factory last year, and the motivation wasn’t only due to tariffs.
The CHIPS Act has paid out for several chip-making projects, including Intel’s massive $8 billion factory, though the introduction of additional semiconductor fabs in the US has been slow. Terafab would be a significant addition to the infrastructure for onshore chip making in the US, and by far the most expensive. There’s no word yet on whether Terafab would receive funding under the CHIPS Act.
Powering all of your electronic devices are chips that serve as their brains. They vary from the likes of Apple’s M series to Nvidia’s Vera Rubin CPU and beyond. The Terafab project aims to ease the current shortage of chips powering devices that will bring AI robotics and more to life. (The AI boom has also brought about a massive RAM shortage, with no expected relief until 2028, affecting prices on electronics like smartphones and laptops.)
Musk gave details on two of the chips he plans to build, the AI5 and AI6, which would power the likes of existing earthly ventures, such as Tesla’s Optimus robots and self-driving cars. Also detailed was the D3 chip, which he said would be made for orbital satellites in space. This type of ambition isn’t just coming from Musk, either. Nvidia announced similar goals to build orbital AI data centers during its GTC conference last week.
The project aims to have every piece of the manufacturing process take place at the facility to churn out chips by the billions, targeting the 2-nanometer process. Musk believes the project will help propel us into becoming a “galactic civilization.”
It sounds like an ambitious project, though not everyone is buying it. Musk has historically announced wild projects, like the “million-mile” battery that never quite got off the ground. Whether the Terafab facility actually becomes a reality is a waiting game for now.
