Vibe coding speeds up visualizing an idea. Although it does seem to come with risks esp. with good coding practice, having to refactor often, bugs and ChatGPT's penchant for bloating lines of code that could've been made simpler.
Claude Code is awesome. Try Lovable and even V0 by Vercel. You can use their Supabase integration to test how they handle dummy data without having to setup server side databases. Was trying to learn React a few months ago and starting with TSX to build small web applets such as this: https://v0-cost-savings-calculator.vercel.app/
It's a brand new world out there. Yet i still use vibe coding for proof of concept. I'd still advocate employing a software developer and engineer towards production. Keep writing!
This was an interesting and helpful article. As a startup mentor, I'm seeing that non-technical founders are interested in understanding how far they can take their App ideas on their own. So, in response to that question, next week I'm publishing a post, "Vibe Coding: When You Should Do It Yourself, and When You Shouldn’t."
