Vibe Coding Goes Mainstream at Salesforce

"I don't always test my code, but when I do, I let Claude write 11,000 lines first and see what happens."

What's up builders 👋

Salesforce just made vibe coding official with their new Agentforce tool, and suddenly everyone's a vibe coder. Today we're unpacking the AI coding assistant wars heating up (Google Jules vs everyone), why Anthropic's aesthetic campaign is making developers feel warm and fuzzy, and how startups are actually spending their AI tool budgets. Plus, Microsoft just killed every overpriced bootcamp with a free 12-week AI curriculum drop.

Salesforce Introduces 'Vibe Coding' with New AI Developer Tool

The meme has become the method. Salesforce just legitimized what we've all been doing – letting AI write code based on vibes rather than specs. Their new Agentforce tool explicitly embraces "vibe coding," where you describe what you want in natural language and let the AI figure out the implementation details.

They're betting that the future of development isn't about writing perfect requirements, but about iterative conversations with AI that understand context and intent. The timing is perfect: developers are already using Claude to build 11K line codebases, translating PowerPoints with Python scripts, and shipping production apps they barely understand. Salesforce is just making it official.

We're watching the biggest shift in software development since the IDE was invented. Now Salesforce is shipping it as a feature, developers are proudly vibe-translating PowerPoints, and Claude is cranking out production codebases while we sleep.

The developers who embrace this chaos – who learn to surf the vibe instead of fighting it – are shipping 10x faster than the purists. We're not becoming worse developers; we're becoming conductors of an AI orchestra we barely understand. And somehow, it's working.

What are you vibe coding this weekend? Hit reply and tell me about the code you're shipping but can't explain.

Keep shipping (even if you don't know how it works),

P.S. - If someone asks you to explain your code, just tell them it was "aesthetically generated through iterative vibe refinement." They'll either think you're a genius or completely insane. Both work.
