About a week ago, there was a case in my country where a woman took a Bolt taxi, which, instead of taking her to the designated place, started driving her to the Austrian border. In the end, the woman jumped out of the car to save herself.

[So the police were not very active, and Bolt just used only AI-generated answers, the company then announced it was a mistake in the GPS... but to be honest, I would say it was a kidnapping attempt].

The @v0 by Vercel team recently dug into industry trends to publish the first State of Vibe Coding report.

My key takeaways:

1. Everyone can build: 63% of vibe coding users are non-developers, generating UIs (44%), full-stack apps (20%), and personal software (11%).

2. Adoption is everywhere, with significant adoption rates in APAC (40.7%), Europe (18.1%), North America (13.9%), and LATAM (13.8%).

3. 92% of US developers use AI coding tools every day

4. 30% of new code at @Google is generated by AI

5. 25% of @Y Combinator startups rely on AI-generated code

6. Rapid expansion has a cost. Vibe coding apps keep hitting vulnerabilities: exposing secrets, access misconfigurations, hardcoded credentials.

7. The future: going mainstream or hitting its sweet spot in working MVPs, the vibe coding trend is here to stay, and it's happening now.
