The 2025 vibe coding game jam
So you might have heard about this new trend of vibe coding. You tell the AI what you want to build and it does the whole thing for you. Well, there's a big game jam happening right now over on Twitter where people are building entire games and then competing on who manages to build the best one. This is super fun and exciting, but basically levels IO here, online entrepreneur, builder, naturally curious, badass, Christopher Columbus of online businesses, whatever you want to call it. This guy basically tries new technological tools all the time, turns them into businesses, and he created this entire little flight simulator game, which by building it in public, public to his Twitter audience, he managed to get over 320,000 people to fly inside of the game. He started selling ad spots and made over $87,000 in a month. This one inspired a lot of people and two also pissed off a lot of people, especially full time game devs. But I personally think this is absolutely amazing and a great show of creativity. And now he's organizing the 2025 vibe coding game jam. If you ever wanted to create a game with AI, this is a great opportunity to kind of pick that up.
