AI and Vibe Coding are Replacing Routine: how the profession of a programmer is changing in Russia

      The AI programming method, Vibe Coding, is becoming increasingly popular among Russian employers. According to analysts hh.ru Since the beginning of 2025, this term has been mentioned more than a hundred times in IT-related vacancies. The number of such mentions increased by 27% over the year.

      Vibe Coding assumes that the developer formulates the task, and the neural network writes most of the code for him. This allows you to take the routine burden off the programmer and focus on more complex tasks such as solution architecture, strategic planning, and training. However, according to experts, it is too early to transfer full control over AI: it is important to check its operation in order to avoid critical errors.

      "The skill of dealing with AI is becoming not just fashionable, but necessary for competition in the market,— comments Maria Buzunova, head of the press service hh.ru "Vibe Coding transforms artificial intelligence from a tool into an ally."

      At the same time, competition among specialists is also growing. Activity of IT applicants on hh.ru since the beginning of the year, it has grown by 24%: more than 724 thousand people update their resumes in search of a job every month.

      The largest number of vacancies for Vibe Coding specialists are posted by employers from Moscow and St. Petersburg. At the same time, about 90% of the offers assume a remote employment format. The median salary in such vacancies reaches 140 thousand rubles. In St. Petersburg, the proposed salaries start from 180 thousand, and in Moscow — from 1.6 thousand dollars.

      Experts suggest that as technology evolves, simple code writing will become devalued. Strategic thinking skills, the ability to set AI tasks and integrate it into business processes will come to the fore.
