Niels kicked off the night with a story of how **vibe coding went from a meme to a movement**.
He traced the rise of AI-native creativity through the year — from Karpathy’s tweet to the explosion of **Lovable**, **Dust**, **Make**, and **Manus**, and the growth of **Paatch** as a 2,000-member community of pioneers experimenting with AI-driven creation.
His message: *the first tribe of vibe coders is here — curious, experimental, and fearless.*
