Tansaidthat this method significantly accelerates software development.
“you’re free to just talk to the large language models and they will code entire apps.
Relying on AI also means that startups no longer need expensive teams to develop software, he added.
It’s possible because the LLMs (e.g.
Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good.
Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper…
This shift is not without its challenges, however.
“The humans have to do the debugging, still.
They have to figure out, well, ‘What is the code actually doing?'”
he said in an episode of Y Combinator’s Lightcone Podcast earlier this month.
Despite these limitations, Tan sees significant benefits in vibe coding.
Like that’s such a powerful moment in software.”
