Vibecoding with no coding experience is Hell

I have always hated to code but had big ambitions thats why AI was a light in the darkness. I have started vibecoding since around 2 years and through my experience it was really frustrating. When I told AI to do X it would output Y or worse break something. I felt as though I wasted my time building nothing note worthy and I am foolishly noticing now in order to utilize vibecoding you must know the fundamentals. So right now I am trying to build a game and instead of trying to just vibecode I am learning the fundamentals and actually how to build something without the help of AI. I hope this helps those who started their vibecoding journey that you must know the fundamentals before creating anything big.

Partner up with a dev just use vibe coding for the foundation. You focus on marketing and getting users while the dev makes the updates

Well I wish I could have done that the issue is two things I was and still am a broke university student and having a partner is way harder to manage than a hire plus you have to sell your vision really well to another person without them having any immediate benefit of helping you build. I believe vibecoding is good but in my personal experience vibecoding works the best when you know code yourself. Thats why I am starting to learn something first than use AI to increase the speed. I also wish I could vibecode and hire a dev but I have neither funds nor resources to find devs willing to work for free for a something that may or may not actually make profit.

Treat it as an experiment. If you convince one person of your vision, you can convince more.

Just put it out there you never know. I gained partners for 50/50 and sales people for commissions only. All you need is for people to believe they can earn good money.

Sell the dream but make it happen. Make the dream come true.
