## Resource

Lucas and Luna dive into the rise of 'vibe coding' — AI-assisted coding that lets non-engineers build software by describing what they want in plain language. They explore why startup Base44 just launched its own model, what Chamath Palihapitiya's $135 million Series A for an AI coding startup means for the space, and why defensibility is the biggest question hanging over every AI coding platform. With specific data points on chip stocks like AMD up 3.8% and ASML up 5.9% in the last five days, they connect the hardware demand to the software abstraction layer. A concrete look at how AI is reshaping who gets to call themselves a developer. #VibeCoding #Base44 #ChamathPalihapitiya #AICoding #AIStartups #Technology #AIPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SoftwareDevelopment #MachineLearning #StartupFunding #AIAbstraction #DeveloperTools #Coding #ArtificialIntelligence #AMD #ASML Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
