A few months ago, in “debugging the vibes,” I explained how vibe coding was reaching the MVP production stage, when just a couple of years ago, you could only get a demo from these tools, yet we were not yet there in terms of being “production-ready.”

In the same piece, though, I also highlighted that if you had some experience in programming, or at least in product management, you could already work your way through the production-ready stage of it.

Now, I want to show you a few more interesting findings from where we are in the AI coding market, which, still today, is mistakenly all lumped into the vibe coding segment.

The age distribution data for vibe coding platforms tells a fascinating story, but not the one you might expect, in what I like to call here “the demographic destiny.”

While everyone's focused on the tools and the hype, the demographics reveal something more profound: we're witnessing a generational handoff of software development paradigms, and it's happening faster than anyone predicted.

A first glimpse here.

Let’s break it down!
