"One of those original signatories, Jon Kern, believes the latest shift - so-called "vibe coding," where developers generate software with chatbot assistance - represents both a natural evolution of agile principles and a potential replay of past missteps. In a conversation with The Register, Kern describes himself as "smitten" with vibe coding. His tool of choice is Replit, and he claims the technology has "definitely taken the world by storm.""
"There were some controversies along the way, and Kern is quick to acknowledge how the manifesto's ideals were subverted over the years. In 2024, he told us sometimes it was "as if the manifesto never existed, and we're back to heavy processes." For some people, the advent of vibe coding is a logical evolution and extension of agile principles. It is no surprise that Kern, an experienced engineer in his own right, is a keen advocate."
Twenty-five years after the Agile Manifesto, artificial intelligence is reshaping how software is written through 'vibe coding'—developer workflows that generate code with chatbot assistance. Jon Kern, an original Agile signatory, embraces vibe coding and uses Replit, describing results as striking and saying the technology has taken the world by storm. The shift aligns with agile principles for some but raises concerns about scaled-up flaws and subverted manifesto ideals. Vibe coding can exaggerate developer abilities or weaknesses and introduces operational risks such as unintended production changes, underscoring the need for informed oversight.
