A new A.I. trend called “vibecoding” is allowing even non-technical hobbyists to create fully functioning apps and websites without knowing how to code. This trend is made possible by powerful A.I. tools that can automate basic computer programming tasks. These tools, such as Cursor, Replit, Bolt, and Lovable, take a user’s prompt and quickly build a working prototype based on that input. Vibecoding feels like sorcery to non-programmers, with lines of code flying past before a prototype emerges in minutes.
Vibecoding experiments have led to the creation of small, bespoke apps that solve specific problems in everyday life, such as an app to help pack a school lunch based on the contents of a fridge. While some projects have been successful, others have encountered roadblocks or made mistakes, highlighting the need for human oversight in the coding process.
Some concerns exist about the potential societal impacts of A.I. coding tools, including the automation of malicious code creation. However, for now, the focus remains on using these tools to automate tasks and improve daily life. While A.I. coding tools may change the landscape of software engineering, they also offer amateurs the ability to build products that previously required teams of engineers. The author plans to continue vibecoding to simplify annoying or time-consuming tasks, showcasing the potential of A.I. in everyday applications.
