Vibe Coding is All the Rage
Jump on the bandwagon and don't be late to the party
Good artists borrow, great artists steal.
- Pablo Picasso
.. Even better ones use AI to generate?
Recently, I came across a journalist who is coding up a storm. He didn’t study computer engineering, he didn’t take any courses, and he still can’t code, but he has built an impressive website here:
I was amazed. I built my first full stack website in weeks, covering various materials, from e-books, to youtube videos, to blog posts, to people’s GitHub repos, and lots of experimentation across the various components, but this journalist built something so simple yet effective, in a matter of minutes!
He probably took a long time to read up and tweak things, but the ability to be just a Product Manager, not even a Technical Product Manager, without any software engineers or even any background understanding of technology, and dictate the needs and wants and get it in minutes, is simply jaw-dropping.
I remember my short stint in the product management team, and the product managers I worked with all had impressive knowledge of technology.
I tried it out real quick by asking it to build a to-do list app using React, and the results are nothing short of amazing:
I used layman's terms to improve the app, and it knew what I need (backend database to save the data):
I created a Supabase account in a jiffy. While the speed of saving notes cannot compare to the current established products on the market such as Todoist which is what I use, it is still impressive nevertheless because it’s functional, fits my exact purpose, and is free. Check out my site, but remember to create something of your own (such as a fun game like this) and share with me!
