here it goes-
Last few months all i am doing at night is VibeCoding.
Was never a big Video games player but often combines with Netflix but vibeCoding changed it.
I am sure i am not the only one. Saw few people in hotel lobby in SF vibecoding some apps close to midnight.
For some reason, It get triggers same Dopamine rush..You kind of always looking for next thing then next thing..UI - buttons, layouts..Auth , DB -Once you are in- no way out.
before you know few hours are gone..
My kid is same too..sometimes on weekend - building games on Bolt.
My gut feeling is VibeCoding is here to stay,Even grow bigger every year..
in year (or years)time we will see kids popping out vibecoded app with payment enabled- in few prompts.. Then what- The world will change around us.
No need to really go to office to make money, earning money will be truly decentralised. Just have your talent imagination and agency.
"Using AI " will be the skill that matter most in future.
huge opportunity for AI Education.
Huge opportunity to guiding this new breed of non coders..
Some of us will realise its potential ( and print brrrrrr , some of us will sit it out)
Its a game of who tried and who didnt ..
I am going for it...Tag along if you want..
If you use SF hotel lobbies as a justification for major lifestyle decisions, there is a nonzero chance you will be addicted to heroin before October.
no justification just observation.
