The VibeBuilder Reading List

The VibeBuilder Reading List

A short, real list — not a hundred links you'll never open.

Where the term came from

"Vibe coding" was popularized by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in a widely shared post in early 2025, describing a style of building where you lean fully into AI-generated code and steer by feel rather than reading every line. It's worth reading the original framing at least once — a lot of how the term gets used today drifted from that starting point.

Official docs worth bookmarking

Each major tool's own documentation is consistently the most reliable source for what it can currently do — features move fast enough that third-party guides go stale within months. Start with the tool you use most, not all of them at once.

Company blogs worth following

Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Vercel (for v0), and Anysphere (for Cursor) all publish their own blogs announcing new features directly — often before it shows up anywhere else. If you only follow one source per tool, make it the company's own blog.

Inside the group

Honestly, the highest-signal reading most weeks is inside the VibeBuilder Facebook group itself — real builders posting real problems and real fixes, often before any of us get around to writing a formal tutorial about it. Search the group before you search Google; someone's probably already asked your question.
