Vibe Coding2026-07-09 · source-backed
TechCrunch reports Figma absorbed the YC-backed team behind Bud (formerly Orchids), and both Bud and Orchids shut down by July 18, forcing users to migrate. Two signals here. Design incumbents are buying vibe-coding talent rather than building it, and platform risk on early-stage generators is real. If you built on a pre-Series-A code generator, you got a two-week eviction notice. Own your export path.
