A vibe coder uses AI to generate software by describing desired outcomes in natural language, essentially "vibing" with an AI assistant to build applications, rather than writing every line of code manually. This approach, popularized by Andrej Karpathy.

Indian and American vibe coders are building impossible software than the rest of the world converting ideas into real product using various tools those guys has mastered the art of vibe coder that is why I call them senior vibe coders .

Nigerian vibe coding community are growing we have some Nairaland programmers building softwares using AI . We are trying but Asians and Americans are leading this field . You can build something a human can do in 6 months in 5 minutes. If you want to get a job just search vibe coding remote jobs on Google.

I swear. I have built two solid web solutions with vibe coding

Vibe coder remote job is hitting the market now. But you will need to learn how to convert them to mobile app

That's what I want to learn now.
I am very good at it now.
Why don't we create a WhatsApp group to share ideas.

There are many ways through web to Mobile using free builder , iOS or Android no code. You can try the following way

1. API using Https to app
2. Progressive web app
3. Webview app
4. Webscrapping to app

You can use AI to write them or use Google and YouTube in any languages.

I hardly like to respond to posts on vibe coding as a mobile and full-stack engineer so as not to be mistaken for hatred but i think i will like to respond to this one.
When new tools arrive in tech industry many novices and newbies mostly assume, in ignorance that will certainly displace established practices.
Another assumption is that these tools will make them professionals in no distance time and they tend to use that assumption to mock veterans in the industry who have made mistakes and learn from them, took time to learn best practices
Electric machine never replaced true seamstress it made them become faster and more productive
vibe codig will never real developers it will make more better faster and increasingly productive
What vibe coders will become in years to come:
dumb coders
zombie coders
less logical coders,etc.

I am predicting that hackers will have the best of time in the nearest future

Meanwhile true vibe coders are the ones who know and control the tools not the tools controlling them. They learn and the working and the internals, they can tell when the tool isn't working well. They fix things without the tool or when the tool is not available
Imagine you need to use a new API but your AI tool isn't aware about it. So you are stalk
You vibe-coded an app,it worked, hurray! Suddenly it grew,and you start thinking of next direction to go
What happens when you need to load balance,find-out which microservice pattern you need to use,migrate datasource,etc. While your AI tool will likely write the code for you will you understand it?

If your AI tool write your Queques for you will you even know where to put them? Then you ask the AI again for that!
When non-programmers start vibe coding they become dumbier and dumbier

In summary if you want to truly vibe-code, learn the fundamentals, be a programmer who knows what the tools produce. That way you will control the tool not the other way round!Do not forget that car manufacturers still control the kinds of cars robots built in the factory!
I vibe-code but i control it and even correct it when necessary

some beginner coders have basic knowledge, while others have none, and Udemy instructors are focusing on AI videos for quick profits, neglecting fundamental programming skills. This has caused many seasoned programmers to lose job which is a major problem. Now in Silicon Valley and China Senior developer are applying for junior role which is absolutely absurd.


Tools like HackAI can actually help identify vulnerabilities, making the field more accessible to newcomers.. Even hackers will become lazy we will only have a few White Hat/greyhat in the future.


I am not saying that we should hate vibe coder it will enhance productivity. You can use figma make or v0.dev and lovable/onspaceai some have free and paid versions .

I respect your reply!
Let me be practical here! I don't hate vibe-coding! I have been working on a fintech starting late last year, alone for a client!. Using AI tool has increased my speed especially the frontend side and some backend but i still validate and correct a whole lot of things. I sat down with a product owner of an event and ticketing app yesterday to finalize and start with the design and started helping hm correct some of the things generated by AI for the MVP
My point is that the use of the tools still doesn't take away the use of the mind, so the mind still need to be fed with needed knowledge. Maybe we should stop reading automobile engineering in school because robots are now used to build cars or we should not learn cloth design because there are now electric machines. Don't learn to wash because there are smart washing machine(but dry cleaners are very good at washing).In fact we should not go to school because AI can now teach virtually everything and even issue certificate!

Real hackers will use AI to be fast as they already hard working folks Lots of vibe coded apps will be hacked in no time!

Some vibe coding tools will tell you the password in the login page because they didn't use a proper user authentication and user management application like supabase, clerk,firebase or Auth0. Before deployment you have to test all the features and use some tool to find vulnerability.

Most programmers that develop AI have a PHD or degree in computer engineering or science related fields . PHD isn't just to become a lecturer but to join a national, communal or international research institute while writing your papers . The award should based on new discoveries and prototype of advanced projects .

Learn and getting a certification in computer engineering is important because it gives you an edges.
