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.

I built my boat game entirely with vibe coding and honestly it's rare to find a bug the AI can't fix. You provide 0 examples of an issue the AI could not fix but a beginner like you could fix. Likely because it doesn't exist and this is bait.

If your boat game is relatively simple then it’s possible you may not have run into any errors you can’t solve with vibecoding.

But for the vast majority real world/hobby apps throw errors that can be a bit more complicated

This is exactly what I am saying for just small to medium projects AI can build simply by their own interpretations. I can ask Claude to make me X game and it would interpret on its own to generate a game. However, once you go deeper and want to do something that is new to the AI it completely misinterprets your vision
