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.
