What It's About
These days, anyone can code with AI—but is it really that easy?
Notes from Chris
Episode 3121
Wouldn’t it be great if you could skip the frustrating, technical parts of building an app or website—and just describe your idea, have an AI understand it, and hand you working code? That’s the dream behind something called vibe coding, a term being used to describe a new style of software creation: not manual, syntax-heavy programming, but natural language conversations with AI that generate the code for you. Today’s question comes from Jordan in Flagstaff, who wants to know whether this trend is real—and whether you can actually build a sustainable project, product, or side hustle this way."I’ve been hearing a lot lately about something called vibe coding—where you basically use AI to build apps or websites just by describing what you want, without needing to manually write lines of code. It sounds almost too good to be true, especially for people like me who have ideas but no real technical background. My question is: how real is this? Could someone actually build a legit side hustle or product using vibe coding tools, or is it more hype than reality right now?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
