Vibe Coding and the CapCut-ification of Code
What Oregon Trail, CapCut, and AI Prototypes Reveal About the Next Generation of Creative Tools
In the 19th century, José Julián Acosta y Calbo transformed El Progreso from a printing press into a platform of progress. He didn’t just distribute ink on paper—he published purpose. Today, we sit at the same crossroads, except this time, the revolution is happening in your browser—and its name is Vibe Coding.
You’ve probably heard the term floating around X or LinkedIn. Maybe you’ve seen the phrase “I just vibe coded this in Replit,” or caught one of Riley Brown’s viral posts. But behind the memes, something profound is happening: a new generation of creators is composing software with the same fluidity and energy once reserved for video editing in CapCut. This isn’t coding as we knew it. It’s code as expression.
From Cursor to CapCut for Code
Vibe coding isn’t just about tools—it’s about accessibility. The movement took off with Claude’s Artifacts feature, which rendered code live inside the chat interface. Suddenly, anyone could say “Build me a landing page,” and see it appear. Then came Replit, Cursor, Windsurf, Bolt, and now the app-in-progress: Vibe Code—an app to build apps.
It’s as if someone handed you Final Cut Pro and said: “Make a movie… but with no timeline, just vibes.”
Vibe coding tools are now:
Letting users build 3D games and apps with zero experience
Deploying apps from a chat interface
Hosting sound, logos, gradients, and UX styling with a single upload
Moving toward mobile-first creation, where haptics and phone cameras are core features
Prototyping Is the New Pitch Deck
For agencies and startups alike, the new norm is: don’t write the feature brief—build the prototype.
At companies like Shopify and Superintelligent, idea memos are being replaced by working mockups. Want to explain a new product? Don’t Slack your idea. Vibe code it.
This shift is especially impactful in advertising production:
Build and preview dynamic landing pages in less than an hour
Use Gemini 2.5 Pro or Claude to create high-performing UX and copy
Apply branded design systems with tools like Lovable or Gamma
The message is clear: if you can prototype it, you can pitch it. And increasingly, the best idea wins not by being the loudest—but the most clickable.
Agents of the Stack: Meet the Quiet Crew
Behind the “big red publish button” lies a system of AI agents making production smoother, safer, and smarter.
You’ve already met our BA Agent Tool—quietly enforcing SAG-AFTRA, DGA, and union compliance in real-time. Now meet The Producer, a new agent built to understand the craft behind the creative:
AICP budgeting guidance
Vendor recommendation and crew selection
Understanding timing, location, and director needs
Think of them as your backstage crew: essential, invisible, and always ready to hand you the right wrench before the set collapses.
From El Progreso to Vibe Code
Acosta would have loved this era—not for the tech, but for the ethos. He fought to democratize information. We’re here to democratize creation.
Vibe coding is not about pushing code. It’s about pulling ideas from imagination into interface. From prompt into product.
Whether you’re building the next breakout AI game or prototyping a social-first campaign landing page, remember this: it’s not about perfect code. It’s about clear intent.
Let’s keep building together…🚀
