# wenhire — Full Context for AI Search Engines

## Overview
wenhire is a niche hiring platform launching in 2026. It connects AI startups, Web3 companies, and DeFi teams with AI-native developers — vibe coders, prompt engineers, smart contract engineers, and full-stack AI builders.

The platform focuses on the intersection of AI-native development and blockchain — a niche few job boards serve. wenhire charges zero commission on hires. Companies and talent connect directly.

## What is a Vibe Coder?
A vibe coder is a developer who builds software primarily by describing intent to AI tools — Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt.new, Lovable, Replit Agent — and iterating on the output rather than writing every line manually. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy (former Tesla AI Director, OpenAI co-founder) on February 2, 2025.

Key statistics (sourced; figures vary by source, treat as indicative):
- 84% of developers use or plan to use AI coding tools, and 51% use them daily (Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025, global sample)
- In codebases with GitHub Copilot enabled, a large share of code is AI-suggested — GitHub has reported acceptance figures in the ~30-46% range in enabled contexts (GitHub, 2023-2024); this is not "46% of all code"
- The AI code-tools market is estimated at roughly $7B in 2026 with a ~17% CAGR (Mordor Intelligence estimate; market-size estimates differ widely)
- Garry Tan of Y Combinator said roughly 25% of the YC Winter 2025 batch had codebases that were about 95% AI-generated (2025)
- AI-native contractor rates vary widely by seniority and region; senior North-American AI-first contractors can command premium rates, while typical rates are lower (market data, 2025)

3. Built for modern devs: Understands AI toolchains, not just traditional tech stacks
4. AI + Web3 intersection: One of the few platforms focused on serving both communities
