Harvard Gazette·medium signal
Harvard's Karen Brennan, Professor of Learning Technologies, taught a six-week vibe coding course exploring the question: 'How do we think about AI as creative partner?' The Harvard Gazette reports 92% of US developers have adopted vibe coding practices and 60% of new code in 2026 is AI-generated. The piece distinguishes vibe coding for rapid prototyping (effective) from vibe coding as a professional strategy for complex systems (dangerous), flagging a 'competence trap' for junior developers.
