Learn CS for the love, not the paycheck, says Replit CEO

Replit CEO Amjad Masad warns against studying computer science purely for money, urging students to pursue the field only if they are genuinely passionate. He argues AI may shift some coding tasks, but core CS fundamentals like data structures and algorithms remain crucial, keeping doors open in ML/AI and other advanced roles. Leaders like Max Levchin and Geoffrey Hinton also emphasize the enduring value of a solid CS education despite AI’s advances.

Apple Blocks Updates to AI-Driven Vibe Coding Apps Amid Rule Debate

Apple has quietly blocked updates for AI-driven 'vibe coding' apps like Replit and Vibecode, saying they breach App Store rules against apps executing code to alter their own or other apps. Some updates could pass if the apps stop rendering generated content inside the app (e.g., via an embedded web view) or remove the ability to generate software for Apple devices. The Information reported the move; Apple later said there are no rules specifically targeting vibe coding and cited guidelines about self-contained apps and not executing code that changes functionality, along with the Developer Program License.

LinkedIn Turns AI Skills into Verifiable Profile Badges

LinkedIn is rolling out vibe coding badges that let users showcase proficiency with AI coding tools by having the toolmakers—Replit, Lovable, Descript, and Relay.app—assess and assign levels (e.g., bronze, intermediate) that appear on profiles. More integrations with GitHub and Zapier are in the works. These levels update as users gain experience, providing recruiters with a verifiable signal of tool-driven work while LinkedIn emphasizes that this isn’t meant to replace existing signals. The move comes amid a broader AI-era backdrop and concerns about layoffs.
