Think about a few years ago when LLMs weren't so popular. If you were interested in programming or wanted to create an application? You had to commit to a long journey of learning how to code. Depending on your ability, it could be expensive both time-wise and money-wise. Many great ideas never saw the light just because the ideator didn't know how to code and couldn't hire developers.
With vibe coding, that scene has changed forever. From prototyping weekend pet projects to building semi-professional-grade software, AI can often do it if you're able to guide it properly. The bar for making software has lowered compared to just a few years ago.
You don't need to understand any code, let alone write any. You don't need to know anything that's happening behind the scenes. No need to learn complex algorithms. Who wouldn't want that? But, is it really that easy? Can you vibe code anything without knowing how to code? Not quite. That's why I'm not ready to give in to vibe coding yet.
Your Coding Skill Still Matters
