Vibe Coding - The Background

The year is 2025. The way we build software—whether it’s a simple three-page website or a complex system with dozens of microservices—has undergone a dramatic transformation. We’ve shifted from scouring forums like Stack Overflow and reading technical blogs found via Google to having interactive conversations with LLMs (Large Language Models) and AI agents.

AI and LLMs have democratized access to technology. Today, you don’t need a formal background in software engineering to create websites or applications. With the help of AI, anyone can build software. This cultural shift is now often called “Vibe Coding.”

Previously, I wrote about modern-day education. In this post, let’s explore how the role of the college lecturer has evolved over time.

Traditionally, lecturers were at the heart of higher education. Their primary responsibility was to deliver lectures—bringing a human touch to the world of reading and writing. These sessions, often informal in tone, helped break down complex topics into digestible chunks. The setting was familiar: four walls, a blackboard and chalk—or later, a whiteboard and marker.

In the past, formal education was primarily accessible through schools, colleges, and universities. However, this is no longer the only path to gaining knowledge. Today, with the vast array of modern tools and technologies available online, self-education has become more viable than ever. If you have the motivation and discipline, you can learn virtually any subject without attending a traditional institution.

Education is now widely accessible through various online resources, including:
