Collapsed Coding Barrier

The reporter attempted to study coding five years ago. With the coding craze in full swing, it seemed like learning it well would make it easier to process data necessary for news articles. However, just 30 minutes after starting, the reporter closed the book. Computer languages such as Python were simply incomprehensible. The sheer amount of code required to create even a single website or application also felt overwhelming. Despite having no prior experience with coding, the reporter recently created a website that analyzes investment tendencies by combining information from Saju (Korean fortune-telling) and the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) personality test. It took only two hours to build. Even without any knowledge of code, simply describing what the reporter wanted in words was enough for a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model to write the code. The AI even recognized and corrected shortcomings on its own. Although the reporter once felt defeated before the towering

Editor's NoteWe are now in the era of 'vibe coding,' where simply explaining your idea verbally allows artificial intelligence (AI) to write code for you. This marks a dramatic shift from the last decade, when coding fever swept the nation as developer jobs soared in popularity. Now, anyone can code, but landing a job in the field has become more difficult and security concerns have escalated. How is this rapid shift in the development paradigm changing our everyday lives? The Asia Business Daily takes a closer look at the frontlines of industry transformation brought about by vibe coding. "Just over a year since its debut, vibe coding has moved beyond individual developers and is now being actively adopted at the organizational level." Hyunseo Jung (pseudonym, 31, male), a developer with three years of experience, works at a company that subscribes to the enterprise plan for the vibe coding tool Cursor and uses it for development projects. Jung's way of working has changed dramaticall

Editor's NoteWe are now in the era of "Vibe Coding," where artificial intelligence (AI) writes code simply by listening to your ideas. Compared to the past decade, when the coding craze surged alongside the popularity of developer jobs, the landscape has changed completely. Anyone can now code, but landing a job in the industry has become harder, and security issues have become more severe. How is this abrupt paradigm shift in development changing our real lives? The Asia Business Daily takes a closer look at the sites of industrial transformation brought about by Vibe Coding. Last August, a report released by Anthropic sent security authorities worldwide into a frenzy. According to the report, hackers exploited Anthropic's AI development tool, "Claude Code," to attack government agencies, medical services, emergency response organizations, and religious groups over the course of a month. The Chinese-backed hacking group "GTG-1002" also used Claude to create AI-automated programs for h

Editor's NoteWe are now in the era of 'vibe coding,' where artificial intelligence (AI) writes code as you describe your ideas in words. The atmosphere has completely changed compared to the past decade, when the developer profession was popular and there was a coding boom. While anyone can now code, getting a job in the related industries has become more difficult, and security issues have also become more serious. How is this rapid shift in the development paradigm changing our daily lives? The Asia Business Daily takes a look at the industrial transformation brought about by vibe coding. "The coding education industry is dying out." Sangwan Yeon (36, male), CEO of the coding education company Startup Code, who has been running the business since 2021 when companies were actively hiring software developers, said that the introduction of "vibe coding"?programming via conversations with AI?has dealt a major blow to the coding education industry. Back in 2021, when he started the busine

Editor's NoteWe are now in the era of "Vibe Coding," where artificial intelligence (AI) writes code when you simply explain your ideas verbally. This marks a complete shift from the past decade, when the developer profession was booming and coding was all the rage.

How is this rapid paradigm shift in development changing our daily lives? The Asia Business Daily seeks to take a closer look at the sites of industrial transformation brought about by Vibe Coding. The reporter, who majored in business administration, has a humanities background and no connection to coding. Not knowing how to read any computer languages, it took just two hours to create a website that analyzes investment propensities by combining Saju (Four Pillars of Destiny) and MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) using Vibe Coding. This was possible thanks to Vibe Coding,

At 10 a.m. on March 25, in a shared office space in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, four members of Opark Co., Ltd. gathered, exchanged greetings, and got to work on their laptops. The scene was quite different from that of a typical office packed with cubicles. After only a brief moment spent typing, the developers pushed their laptops aside and continued to converse with one another. They had already assigned tasks to Anthropic
