2026: The Year The IDE Died — Steve Yegge & Gene Kim, Authors, Vibe Coding
Method
This deck is slide-only. The existing captured video frame set supplies candidate frames, then local OpenCV rejects sponsor/title/speaker-only frames, crops visible slide surfaces, deduplicates, and saves the cropped slide images.
Cropped Visible Slides

- AI slide classifier:
content_slideconfidence0.98 - Text source: agent_vision.
- OCR decision: ready — Mixed timeline, footer, and small labels are better preserved by OCR than manual transcription.

Our Belief and Observations
AI will reshape technology organizations — 100x larger than the impact of agile, cloud, CI/CD, mobile, etc.
These technology breakthroughs reshape organizations... the entire economy re-organizes itself to take advantage of these new modes of production
We are starting to see amazing case studies hinting at what the future may look like
