‘Vibe Coding’ is Letting 10 Engineers Do the Work of a Team of 50 To 100, Says YC CEO - Slashdot
Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan said startups are reaching $1-10 million annual revenue with fewer than 10 employees due to “vibe coding,” a term coined by OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy in February. “You can just talk to the large language models and they will code entire apps,” Tan told CNBC (video…

Model-Driven Node: Scalability
Most developers think technical spec when they read scalability. Node.js’s claim to fame is bandwidth utilization via an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. But I’m interested in a different scalability; project scalability, domain scalability, which I predicted in 2006 (when I drew these pictures). Most large organizations look like

I originally wrote this enterprise IT scalability post in 2006, then updated it with the "Model-driven Node" concept in 2013. Back then, the limitations of technology and people led to many small, inter-dependent domains within large organizations, which led to inconsistencies, maintenance issues and high manpower requirements.

Extreme code generation was one fix but the IT world chose Typescript to salvage the flaws of Javascript. Probably driven by the conceit of Microsoft and cowboy coders who believe their hand-coding is never flawed.

AI Vibe coding accomplishes what I attempted with the Model-Driven Node project, it should vastly increase application domain scope, for leaner, more predictable systems built in much less time by fewer engineers.

I think Tan's 5x to 10x estimate is probably based on monolithic, ad hoc generation which will reveal significant technical debt. My educated guess is a 2x to 3x sustainable increase in productivity, which is still incredible.
