I was a web developer for about ten years—back in the day. I loved building things, but I never really loved the coding part. I liked creating.

Now, thanks to AI, the game’s changed. With “vibe coding”—a term coined by AI researcher and OpenAI founding member Andrej Karpathy—I can build apps just by talking to AI. You still need to be aware of app dev essentials like security and performance, but the ability to go from idea to prototype just by describing what you want? Feels like magic.
