Vibe coding means typing a description of the software you want into an AI tool and testing what it builds, even if you cannot code.
- Type what you want, test what the AI builds, tell it exactly what is wrong, and repeat until it works.
- Tools like Zapier only give you pieces that someone else built, while vibe coding builds exactly what you need.
- It is not effortless, because you still need to know what you are building, test it, and think about security and where your data goes.
- Start with something small that only you or your team uses, and avoid anything that touches customer payments or private information.
Example: Write one paragraph about a piece of software you wish existed, covering what starts it, what it does, and what it gives you at the end, and use that as your first vibe coding prompt.
