Two new books have been announced that, embarrassingly for the authors and publishers, fail spectacularly to understand what the term "vibe coding" means.
The whole POINT of vibe coding is that you don't need to be a software engineer to do it.
My key point here, besides tilting at windmills and taking on a cause that is very clearly lost already, is that this is really short-sighted of the publishers
A book on vibe coding for non-devs could sell SO MANY more copies and help SO MANY more people! https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/1/not-vibe-coding/#now-what-do-we-call-books-on-about-real-vibe-coding-
@simon I think you have to drop the term coding. It's more just vibe making. You're asking for things to exist and it's hopefully getting close to that request.
