"AGI for vibe-coding is coming earlier than 2028" says Michele Catasta (@pirroh) President of Replit (@Replit):

"I would expect by the end of 2026, a lot of the core functionalities that models and agents have to have, in order to become very good vibe coding workhorses, will be there".

"Literally the bottleneck would become grit, determination, if you want to take the time and, you know, invest a bit of money to make it happen".

"No vibe coding tool today is absolutely perfect... but the amount of creativity that they unleash is second to none."

From @pirroh appearance in March.

Amjad Masad’s Replit allows users to build apps together like they’re doodling on a white board. It also made the Jordanian immigrant a billionaire along the way.

@etnshow @pirroh @Replit He's calling grit and determination the last bottleneck like it's a small one. It's the original one. Strip away every tool and the question was always whether you'd actually do the work. The models solved everything except the thing that was never about models.

@lukeknight @pirroh @etnshow @Replit the vibe coding tools are already good enough that the bottleneck is now the human knowing what they actually want to build. if you cant describe the problem clearly, no agent will save you. the skill shifted from writing syntax to defining scope.
