A survey of 167 software engineers reveals that while many feel they are keeping pace with AI coding tools, a significant number also express concerns about job security and productivity. The concept of "vibe-coding," popularized by Andrej Karpathy, highlights the changing landscape of software development, where AI assistance is both a boon and a potential hindrance. Engineers report mixed experiences, with some finding increased productivity while others struggle with over-reliance on AI-generated code.

• Of 167 software engineers surveyed, most feel they're keeping up with AI coding tools, but a notable share worry about job security and productivity.
• "Vibe-coding" (Karpathy's term) is reshaping workflows, with engineers split between productivity gains and frustration with over-reliance on AI-generated code.
