Vibe coding for me was a paradigm shift on AI as a tool I can utilize to unlock more. I started with no-code solutions, and never could get to the last 10% of production-ready. Then saw someone on X mention Cursor. Avoided it, avoided it then said fuck it and dove in, and now I use it daily and it's been a game changer. Prior to all this, I had front-end experience at best... like modifying Wordpress themes back in the day, etc. - I've since shipped two software platforms that are basically AI OS for certain verticals, and an intricate iPhone app, etc... None of this was possible for me before six months ago. Big fan of the IDE experience. I tried Claude Code but I don't like not knowing what's going on the way I see it in Cursor. The first platform I was idea to market in 3 weeks, then the next platform, it took me a day. Not MVP, but fully built out. That's insane. My first startup was an iPhone app back during iOS7, and we had to outsource V1, and it took six months and cost $50k. It was a terrible MVP. Lol. In comparison, I'm doing what I'm doing in Cursor on the $60 plan.

All this to say, Vibe Coding as a no-code, even if the solution can hook api's for you, etc, nah. It should be a gateway at best to fully understand and build via agentic development.
