Accelerating social sciences with vibe coding

Project description

What if social scientists could build research tools, run experiments, and analyze data just by describing what they want in plain English? "Vibe coding" — the practice of creating software through conversation with AI — is turning researchers who never wrote a line of code into builders of custom apps, simulations, and dashboards in hours instead of months. We explore how this revolution is democratizing social science knowledge production, and ask what it means when the barrier between a research idea and a working prototype is just a good prompt.
