""Everyone's looking at all the software use and saying, 'How fast could I vibe code that?'" Taylor said. "'I wonder if it's the wrong question.' Whether someone can quickly vibe code an app in a web browser isn't "the most interesting question in software," he added. Instead, the software we use today is set to be replaced, and that's the real disruption, Taylor said."
""AI agents will be 'the future of software.' "We will delegate tasks to agents that will operate against a database," Taylor said. "Who's making those agents is the question," he added. "Will you buy those agents off the shelf or build them yourself?" Taylor also said that while AI has slashed the cost of building software, it hasn't solved the harder problems of maintaining it - or the risk of getting things wrong."
Vibe coding will become commonplace for quickly building today's software, but it will not drive the next major technology shift. The structure of software will change away from dashboards, web forms, and traditional apps toward AI agents that carry out tasks and operate against databases. Organizations will face the choice of buying agents off the shelf or building custom agents. AI significantly reduces initial development cost but does not eliminate maintenance challenges or the risk of incorrect behavior. Many organizations will prefer off-the-shelf solutions to share maintenance costs across thousands of clients.
