Vibe Coding: The Rise of Conversational AI Programming in Software

Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they dive into the emerging world of vibe coding, a new approach to software development where conversational AI tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT help developers build and refine code using natural language prompts.

In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy break down how this shift accelerates innovation, reduces development friction, and empowers smaller teams to build enterprise-grade solutions. They discuss the hurdles in bringing vibe coding–style products into the multifamily housing space, due to the lack of open, standardized integrations across most property management systems (PMS), making it difficult for AI-assisted tools to plug in and deliver value out of the box seamlessly.

Kerry and Jimmy’s Words of Wisdom: “Vibe coding unlocks a whole new way to build software—fast, fluid, and focused on outcomes. It transforms how we think about development, turning natural language into working code in real time. But in the multifamily housing space, we’re still trying to integrate with PMS systems that were never built for agility, openness, or even collaboration. These platforms are often walled gardens with outdated APIs, which slow innovation and create friction for any AI-driven tool trying to connect and create value. Until the ecosystem evolves, we’ll keep seeing powerful tech hit roadblocks—not because it doesn’t work, but because it can’t connect.”
