Vibe coding is really taking over. Simply put, non-technical people with ideas can now use AI to make very high quality prototypes.
Those prototypes can do most of the things that are needed for a company. However, in almost all cases, the code generated to run them is somewhat bad (from a software engineer process) … and if you keep going down that route without regular refactoring and tidying up, eventually you will get technical debt.
That technical debt may come three years down the road though, at which point you will have to hire an experienced programmer. If you are still going in three years though you are likely to have money by that point and can afford the programmer. So that’s the payoff!
