No-Code, No-Guilt, Just Vibes

This morning I added another feature to my personal productivity app. I don’t remember what it was — something about auto-sorting my unread thoughts into tidy little AI-labeled bins — but it worked. I think. It doesn’t matter. What matters is: I didn’t write a single line of code. Not one. I described what I wanted in vague poetic fragments (“like a soft funnel for my half-decisions, but also alert me if I sound unhinged”), and the machine obliged. Beautifully.

There’s this thing I’ve been noticing: when I stop trying to know how it works and just ask, the results get better. I’ve been calling it “vibe coding,” and it’s the future. Yes, I’m aware that the same intelligence giving me a morning of blissful pseudo-productivity was trained on the sweat of open source idealists and the uncredited works of thousands. But I offered it a new prompt: mine. That's how I make peace.

Mike Masnick says we shouldn’t wait around for billionaires to fix things. He’s right. But isn’t it poetic that we get to build our own using the exact tools they funded to solve a different problem entirely? It’s like Thomas Ptacek wrote: “My AI skeptic friends are all nuts.” I used to worry about the implications, too. Now I just pour another coffee, build another tool, and try not to think too hard about where the machine gets its wisdom. No coding knowledge needed. Just vibes. And a well-fed model.
