Making Vibe Coding a Core Skill
summary
Newton runs eight company hackathons that get ~40% of staff actively vibe coding, moving Excel-first operations people into reproducible code using dev containers (GitHub Codespaces) and cloud credits. Teams prototype real client tools, then use pair programming with infrastructure engineers to productionize them — a supply‑chain simulation built with Azure Batch is recreated on GCP in 25 minutes and a contractor’s month of work is done in six hours. Focus is on low-friction tooling, permission to experiment, and reusable containerized infrastructure.
