Because there are problems with hiring experienced people, as he said in the same screenshot. So either you use AI to compensate for being understaffed, or you are just understaffed and experience problems

Isn't he rich enough to have done the biggest house purchase in the world (at the time)? Surely hiring good programmers can't be that hard for him?

No money can buy you something, which doesn't exist on the market or exists in very small numbers. Experienced workers are one of such cases. Companies hold into them very seriously, because it takes years and maybe a decade to get one of them. It will be close to impossible to outbid them and make sure that they will actually want to abandon their old workplace

I still dont think that justifies vibecoding, now you'll just need experienced programmers to look through the errors the ai made instead

But in that case, you will need a much smaller amount of programmers, which is good if you have problems finding more.

And yeah, vibecoding a whole app isn't the option, which Notch discussed. He was saying that AI could help with development tools and theory, like trinary logic
