Coding Without Coding

Welcome to the Loop. OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy probably had no idea he was about to coin a phrase on X that encapsulated an entire movement steadily gaining momentum across the world. “There’s a new kind of coding I call ‘vibe coding’, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”

🌈 Vibe Coding is Here: Gone are the days when creating digital experiences required deep technical expertise. Figma's recent Config 2025 event showcased a notable shift towards "vibe coding" – where complex technological tasks are simplified through AI. These assistants can make real-time predictions about what you’re trying to do and offer intuitive suggestions to make it easier than ever to create software, even if you’ve never written code before.

🛻 Mega Bandwagons: The iPhone maker’s coding platform Xcode could soon get an AI overhaul thanks to a new collaboration with Anthropic. The Claude-powered tool, which can “write, edit, and test code” on its own, is being tested internally with a possible public release down the line. But Amazon’s not far behind: New reports claim it’s building an AI coding agent to take on industry-favorite Cursor. Meanwhile, Google and Microsoft admit 25-30% of their code is now written by AI, while Meta’s AI output could reach 50% in the next year. Y Combinator's increasing investments in AI coding startups further validate the trend.

🚶 Human Touch: Ultimately, while vibe coding can help make a vague idea for a website or a game into a reality, it can’t make it reliable or secure. But there are already plenty of existing tools to do this, helping you with everything from creating databases to adding authentication measures. So while you can’t vibe-code real, valuable, secure, robust apps into existence, it can be a useful place to start so long as you’re careful. And, they’re only ever going to get more capable.

Headlines on Digital Marketing, AI, and More

📸Picture Perfect: Visual search technology is transforming how consumers find products, with Pinterest's latest AI upgrade letting users search for items by simply pointing their camera at similar objects. This capability bridges the gap when words fail, identifying products with 93% accuracy across fashion, home décor, and more. The technology recognizes patterns, colors, and designs instantly—solving the age-old "I know it when I see it" dilemma. Ironically, the technology that helps users find physical objects is itself virtually invisible to them.

🍎AI Search: Apple’s SVP of Services, Eddy Cue, revealed the potential revamp while testifying yesterday in a DOJ competition lawsuit against Google that takes aim at the $20 billion a year the search engine pays to be the default in Apple’s browser, Bloomberg reported. Switching from a standard search engine to AI would be a major change for the iPhone-maker, but Cue reportedly said that Safari searches had gone down for the first time last month as people turned to AI instead. “Prior to AI, my feeling around this was, none of the others were valid choices,” Cue told the court. None of this was good news for Google, and the report sent the stock of its parent company, Alphabet, down.

🖱Clicks to Credibility: LinkedIn is doubling down on B2B video with its revamped ad platform, BrandLink—a rebrand of its Wire Program featuring curated, high-quality video content from premium publishers and creators. This upgrade positions video as a core B2B modality, pairing influencer-style storytelling with executive audiences. As Social Media Today noted, BrandLink lets brands “run ads alongside trusted content,” proving that in the B2B world, context may just convert better than a cold call.

How Businesses are Scaling Today

AI-Powered Marketing Minions: A no-code n8n setup where a single AI agent acts as a full-stack marketing team is now possible. The bot handles image creation/editing, blog/LinkedIn posts, and video generation-all triggered via Telegram voice/text commands. The system’s backbone-OpenAI’s image model and Google Drive logging-delivers attention-grabbing flyers and blog drafts in minutes.

Workflow Blueprint:

Cost vs. Chaos: The system runs on a shoestring budget ~$50/month for APIs, but scales like a “junior marketer on iced coffee.” For teams looking to shorten 10 hours to 10 minutes, this agent is a Swiss Army knife - just don’t expect it to build the entire dam.
