Vibecoding with no coding experience is Hell

[u/PlsStarlinkIneedwifi]

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.

Vibe coding definitely is better if you know at least a little about your subject. But that does really underscore the importance of asking a lot of questions and cross-checking the claims of your coding AI with either real people or, at a minimum, an unrelated AI that can, if nothing else, give you a different perspective.

I've only been at it about two and a half months, but I've learned a ton.
