Vibe Coding Week 1: Building Web Apps on Intuition
I’ve been on a fascinating journey with AI-assisted coding lately. It started, as I’m sure it has for many of you, with a simple copy-and-paste from a chat window. But it’s evolved into something I’m calling “vibe coding” – a way to build things purely on intuition and conversation, even with languages I’ve never used before.
Getting along with AI: From Copy-Paste to Conversation
I started using ChatGPT to help me with coding tasks in late 2023/early 2024. At first, it was all about getting snippets of code to solve specific problems…
-
I would allow myself to discuss with AI only after doing the initial brainstorming by myself, to identify challenges and evaluate the viability of my idea.
-
I would always read through code generated by AI to make sure they are logically correct, and always check important results immediately to catch errors at an early stage.
-
Be aware that an AI is an AI all the time. The boundary between AI and a real human is what causes most controversies.
