Getting Started with Vibe Coding
There’s a new way to build software, and it’s changing everything. I call it vibe coding — working alongside AI to ship faster than ever before.
What is Vibe Coding?
Vibe coding is about collaboration between human creativity and AI capability. Instead of writing every line yourself, you describe what you want, iterate on the output, and focus on the parts that matter most.
It’s not about replacing developers. It’s about amplifying what we can do.
My Workflow
Here’s how I typically work now:
- Start with intent — I describe what I’m building in plain language
- Iterate quickly — AI generates code, I refine and adjust
- Focus on architecture — I spend more time on design decisions
- Ship faster — What took days now takes hours
The Tools I Use
- Claude Code — My go-to for complex coding tasks
- Cursor — Great for inline completions
- v0 — Quick UI prototyping
Is This Cheating?
Some people ask if using AI is “cheating.” I don’t think so. We don’t call using a calculator cheating at math. Tools evolve, and so should we.
The key is understanding what the AI produces. Don’t blindly copy-paste. Read the code, understand it, and make it yours.
Vibe coding has made me more productive and, honestly, more excited about building things. Give it a try.
