Ask HN: What does Vibe Coding mean for non-programmers?

5•Nio1024•2mo ago
From what I’ve seen:

Vibe Coding is mainly a tool for building product prototypes.

It’s a great way to explore AI and learn.

It’s not suited for serious, production-grade products.

My take: different skills shine in different areas. If you’re a non-programmer, focus on what you’re good at — understanding users, marketing, distribution, attracting developers — instead of trying to become a programmer yourself.

"Vibe coding" doesn't eliminate programming; it effectively promotes everyone to Senior Code Reviewer—often without the necessary credentials.

The danger isn't that the product won't launch. The danger is that it works too well while being structurally unsound. It’s like handing a nail gun to someone who doesn't understand load-bearing walls. You get speed, sure, but you are essentially generating Legacy Code at the speed of light.

The real question isn't whether non-programmers can build, but who is going to maintain the infinite loop of technical debt they are unknowingly creating?

dtagames•2mo ago
Do not attempt to create or run a software company if you're not a developer. Full stop. (See Mark Cuban's repeated warnings and refusal to invest in non dev-lead tech companies.)

For non-programmers, it's a way to build software for personal use but not for sales or supporting other users.

Exactly my experience with Vibe Coding—fun for prototyping and AI practice, useless for serious production work.
