I recently spoke with Maor Shlomo, founder of Base44—the platform that lets anyone build apps, tools, and games just by describing them to an AI. In six months, he built Base44 solo and sold it to Wix for $80M. It’s the clearest signal yet: the rules of building have changed, and most teams aren’t ready.
We dug into:
Why vibe coding crushes the myth that innovation requires big teams and big funding.
How cross-domain generalists will thrive while narrow specialists get sidelined.
Why software that doesn’t become agent-driven will be left for dead.
The ruthless advantage of starting over quickly when the build cost is near zero.
Maor’s blunt take: “If one person can go this far alone, do we need whole teams to achieve the same things?”

The uncomfortable truth: Interfaces are vanishing
Vibe coding strips away menus, clicks, and UIs. You speak, and the machine builds. The UX profession must decide—adapt to this new layer of interaction, or watch relevance slip away.
Speak ideas, skip interfaces.
Abstraction layers are collapsing.
Creation is now a conversation.

✍️ I recently published Navigating Contradictions: A Manifesto for Product Teams in an Era of Change.
In it, I confront the contradictions head-on: speed vs. depth, AI optimism vs. ethical risk, innovation vs. trust. Teams that refuse to wrestle with these tensions won’t survive.
Key line: “Product teams must learn to hold space for competing truths—where speed and discovery coexist with responsibility and depth.”

Agencies and consultancies have thrived on labor arbitrage. That arbitrage just died. As AI agents mature, they won’t just support consultants—they’ll cannibalize them. The uncomfortable truth: if your business model depends on armies of analysts or designers, you’re already obsolete.

👉 What do you think?
I’ll admit it: I once wrote vibe coding off as a gimmick. Now, I see it as the end of UI as we know it. Every interface has been an abstraction—an awkward compromise between human thought and digital execution. Those compromises are being stripped away at speed.
The uncomfortable truth? The gap between an idea and a product is collapsing. That means fewer roles, fewer gatekeepers, and a brutal shift in how work gets done.
Have you tried vibe coding? Does it excite you, scare you—or both? Reply and let’s talk.
