If you’ve never heard the term "vibe coding" before, here’s the simplest explanation:
Vibe coding is building software by having a conversation with AI. Instead of writing code line by line, you describe what you want in plain English, and AI writes the code for you.
Think of it like being the architect of a building. You don’t lay every brick — you design the blueprint and direct the team. With vibe coding, AI is your team.
Why this matters for entrepreneurs: You no longer need to pay $5K-$50K for a developer to build your first product. You can go from idea to working prototype in hours, not months.
You can iterate and test ideas at near-zero cost. You stay in control of your own tools and products.
The tools that make this possible: Claude (by Anthropic) for conversational coding and problem-solving. Cursor for building full applications with AI assistance. Bolt.new and Replit for rapid prototyping in the browser. Lovable for building web apps without touching code.
If you can run a business, you can vibe code. Period.
