Selfware

The Future of Programming: Vibe Coding and Selfware

Introduction to Programming Trends

• Since December, programming on Spotify has been banned. Companies like Salesforce, Goldman Sachs, and Netflix are replacing programmers with artificial intelligence (AI), marking a new trend.

• In 2025, "Vibe Coding" emerged as the word of the year, representing a shift towards coding with AI assistance.

• By 2026, a new term "Selfware" was introduced, indicating software that operates autonomously.

Historical Context of Programming

• From 2000 to 2020, programmers dominated the tech landscape; companies with programmers were seen as disruptive and lucrative.

• The most successful individuals during this period often had programming backgrounds or were involved in technology firms.

Emergence of OpenAI

• OpenAI was founded in 2015 by notable figures including Elon Musk and Andrew Carpat to create AI independent from traditional programming.

• On November 30, 2022, OpenAI launched its AI model which transformed how non-programmers could engage with technology.

Impact of AI on Various Fields

• The launch allowed individuals without programming skills to utilize AI for tasks such as writing and coding.

• This disruption enabled professionals from diverse fields to acquire skills previously reserved for specialized programmers.

Evolution of Programming Paradigms

• By late 2022 and into 2025, startups like Lovbow emerged that utilized Vibe Coding principles allowing users to create applications without coding knowledge.

• The evolution progressed through three levels: pure coding (top level), low-code frameworks (middle level), leading to no-code solutions where users interact directly with AI.

Conclusion on Market Disruption

• Companies like Lovbow and others have significantly disrupted the programming market since the rise of Vibe Coding in 2025.

• The speaker's own company exemplifies this trend by achieving significant revenue growth through an AI-driven B2B platform.

Viver Verde: A Revolution in Software Development

Introduction to Viver Verde's Operations

• Viver Verde operates primarily on artificial intelligence, achieving significant revenue of 21 million in just six months with fewer than 40 employees. The company was founded by Rafael Milagre, who has no programming background.

Milestones and Growth

• As of February 18, 2026, Viver Verde surpassed 1,000 companies within its ecosystem, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.

Understanding "Selfers"

• The term "self" refers to software created internally by users without relying on third-party platforms. This contrasts with traditional software solutions like CRMs or ERPs.

Transitioning to Internal Tools

• In early 2026, Viver Verde decided to stop paying for external software tools and began developing all necessary applications internally using AI technologies such as Lovbow and Cloud Code. This included building their own CRM system from scratch based on previous tools like PipeDrive.

Achievements in Internal Development

• The new internal CRM meets all operational needs despite being less mature than established products like PipeDrive. Additionally, the company has developed its own meeting platform that eliminates the need for services like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Meetings are now conducted through this proprietary tool built within Lovbow.

Innovations in Production Tools

• Viver Verde has also created an AI-driven teleprompter controlled via smartphone for video production purposes, showcasing their commitment to reducing costs associated with conventional market tools while enhancing efficiency across various operations including sales and customer success management (CS).

Future Predictions: The Era of Selfers

• There is a forecasted revolution in business practices where companies will increasingly develop their own software solutions instead of purchasing them from the market—this trend is termed the "revolution of selfers." Companies like Spotify and Netflix utilize similar internal development strategies with advanced tools such as Cloud Code for operational efficiency.

Conclusion and Call to Action

• Business leaders are encouraged to explore these innovative approaches using tools like Lovbow and Cloud Code to enhance productivity while significantly cutting down on software expenses—a strategy that promises both economic savings and improved operational effectiveness moving forward into 2026 and beyond.
