How we count. An episode counts when its transcript says “vibe coding” or “vibe code” at least twice; plurals count too. We count a shortened re-upload of an episode we already have only once, and we skip the sponsor reads we can spot: the lines around phrases like “brought to you by”, and any passage a show reads word for word in three or more episodes. The share is the counted episodes divided by all episodes from the tech, business and science shows we cover in the same four weeks, so a busy month of releases does not raise it by itself. The mix of shows does change from month to month, and one daily show can move a number. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, and the week in progress is left out until it ends. The chart starts with the week of April 13, 2026, when our archive became steady. A few older episodes can still appear under the earliest mentions, and some weeks have gaps. Transcripts are automatic captions, so we also match the spellings they use. The counts cover only the shows we summarize. Download the counts (JSON) or CSV.
