Lovable Raises $330M To Teach Coders How to “Vibe” With Their Damn Code

Right, so apparently some shiny new “vibe-coding” startup called Lovable just snagged $330 million in funding, because throwing stupid amounts of money at buzzwords is the new national sport. The clowns running it now think they’re worth $6.6 billion — yeah, billion with a bloody “B”. Their whole schtick? Making coding feel more “human” and “emotional.” Oh for f**k’s sake. I thought we were supposed to make machines less like people, not the other way around.

According to the hype, Lovable’s magical software lets developers “collaborate with AI” to write code based on vibes, moods, and other existential nonsense. Because apparently what software engineers really need after years of syntax errors and caffeine addiction is emotional resonance with their IDE. Somewhere out there, a venture capitalist just convinced themselves that empathy will debug JavaScript.

The VC herd — led by some oversized funds with more cash than common sense — is drooling all over this thing. They’re calling it “the next GitHub” or “the iPhone moment of coding.” Yeah, sure, and my toaster’s about to become a unicorn too. Let’s see how touchy-feely coding works when production crashes on a Friday night. Who needs log files when you can just light some candles and “feel” the stack trace, right?

Anyway, congratulations to another overhyped bunch of code whisperers for setting fire to a few hundred million dollars while pretending to reinvent the keyboard. I’ll be over here actually fixing shit like a grown-up.

Reminds me of the time a junior asked if we could “improve team synergy” by lighting incense in the server room. We did — right after I told him to blow it out or explain the smoke alarm to the fire department.
