Ship real software by describing it to AI — the shift from typing code to directing intent.
What Vibe Coding Really Means
You stop writing every line. You describe intent, review, refine, and ship. The IDE becomes a conversation, not a text editor.
The Shift from Typing to Directing
Old loop: think → type → run → debug. New loop: describe → review diff → run tests → ship. Speed comes from clarity, not keystrokes.
A Modern Vibe Stack
Cursor or Claude Code for coding, Lovable for full-stack apps, v0 for UI, Supabase for backend, Vercel for deploy. Pick one path and stay on it for 90 days.
Taste is the New Bottleneck
Anyone can generate 10,000 lines. Few can pick the right 200. Design taste, product taste, and code taste decide who wins.
Your First Vibe Session
Open Cursor. Type: "Build me a todo app with Supabase auth." Read every diff. Reject 30% of it. That review muscle is the whole skill.
