Cognizant launched a record-breaking global AI hackathon with 250,000+ employees using tools like Lovable, Cursor, and Gemini. Cursor dropped Bugbot, a smart GitHub reviewer for catching AI-induced bugs. A major security flaw in Wix’s Base44 platform was swiftly patched. Academic papers explored how vibe coders prompt better with experience and how AI is reshaping human intent. And Lovable hit unicorn status with $100M ARR in just eight months, touting a 91% error reduction in its latest release.

There are shed loads of guides out there on how to get started with vibe coding, this is one of the more digestible and provides a solid checklist to get the ball rolling. Credit to Jason Lemkin.

Google just dropped Opal - a browser-based tool for building AI apps locally. No servers, no lag. Just fast, on-device magic for creative builders. Opal joins Stitch (another Google experiment) in the no-code arena which focuses on UI and design.

When you’re vibe coding, voice dictation is a game-changer. It lets you capture ideas in a natural stream of consciousness, and share complex thoughts way faster than typing, especially when editing as you go. We’ve tested loads, and Wispr Flow has become a team favourite. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the sub and if you like the format please do share with your pals. We’re all about keeping it short and sweet, now go and smash that to do list.
