I'm a product manager — no coding background, never wrote a line in my life. Yet here I am, building a video editing tool solo. Not just "I made a prototype" solo. I mean designing the full product architecture, iterating on UX, and shipping features. Alone. What's striking isn't just that AI lowers the barrier to coding. It's that it finally closes the gap between having a clear product vision and being able to execute on it. The bottleneck used to be engineering. Now it's just... thinking. To the engineers feeling devalued: I understand the frustration. But what I need from AI isn't what I needed from a senior engineer. I need a tireless executor for a vision I already have. The judgment, the taste, the "why does this matter" — that's still entirely human

The thing is, so far you've probably done a bunch of work on the 80%. Now you need to do the remaining 80% to finish the project, launch it, create a stable customer base.

If you're only vibe coding, it's going to be an interesting long term experiment.
