Episode notes
AI Coding Is The Year’s Defining Theme
- AI coding emerged as 2025's defining product-market fit and changed tooling rapidly this year.
- Agent-focused startups (agent labs) now rival model labs in valuation and influence.
Negotiate Vibe Coding Handoffs
- Avoid treating vibe-coded prototypes as finished products when handing off to engineers.
- Rebuild or negotiate handoffs intentionally to prevent tech-stack mismatch and maintenance debt.
Two Divergent Stacks Are Emerging
- Non-technical 'vibe coders' are building on different infra stacks than engineers, causing rebuilds at handoff.
- This split is driving demand for better crossover tooling like Supabase and prompt-to-production patterns.
