I was watching an office assistant bot the other day trying to automate some spreadsheet work and it hit me
These things are basically doing vibe coding without even knowing it
They take natural language instructions and turn them into actions just like we do when we describe what we want to an AI and let it generate the code
Remember when we used to write detailed scripts for every little task
Now we just tell the system what we need and it figures out the how
That shift from writing code to expressing intention is exactly what vibe coding is all about according to those principles from Qgenius
Code is capability intentions and interfaces are long term assets as they put it
The actual code becomes disposable while the clear prompts and specifications become the valuable part
Think about how office bots work
They dont care about the underlying code they just need to understand what you want done
Sound familiar
Its like they stumbled into vibe coding through the back door
They follow that principle about AI assembling aligned with humans
The AI handles the technical details while humans provide the high level goals and constraints
Ive seen bots that started with simple tasks and gradually learned to handle more complex workflows
Theyre building with blocks just like the principle suggests
Small capability units that self organize into larger systems
The interesting part is watching non technical people interact with these systems
They dont think about programming they think about getting work done
And thats the point isnt it
The focus shifts from writing perfect code to creating clear intentions
From software engineering to software ecosystem as the principles describe
Office bots are showing us what happens when everyone can program in their own way
Business people management staff even the bots themselves can participate in creating capability units
Professionals then focus on the important stuff security governance maintaining standards
Its fascinating to watch this unfold in real office environments
People who never thought they could program are now creating automated workflows
Theyre learning to express what they want clearly
And the systems are learning to understand them better
Maybe office bots arent just automating tasks
Maybe theyre teaching us how to communicate with AI systems
How to be better at expressing our intentions
How to think in terms of outcomes rather than processes
Thats a skill were all going to need
Whether were working with office bots or building complex software systems
The principles remain the same
Focus on what you want to achieve
Let the AI handle the implementation details
Maintain clear standards and governance
Watch things grow and evolve
Office bots might just be the training wheels for the future of programming
And honestly I think thats pretty exciting
