This is a move from scarcity to abundance. Vibe coding makes computation so accessible that you can create personalized solutions on the fly, without needing to think about generalization.

You could generate a brand-new, perfectly tailored piece of code every single time you need it.

Because code was hard to create, we built tools meant to be reused. If it took you ten days to write a script to process a video, you would reuse that script every time. But what if generating that code took only ten seconds? You would no longer need a reusable tool.

The true revolution is that you don't need to build a generic tool at all.

This is where vibe coding changes the game. At its core, it’s a translation tool. It uses the power of the transformer to translate your thoughts from natural language directly into code. The revolution isn't about building the next generic SaaS tool faster.

This model gave rise to the SaaS industry, where companies sell best practices packaged as software. You delegate the problem-solving to them. This works, but it’s always a compromise. You’re using a tool designed for a broad audience, not specifically for you.

The spreadsheet is a perfect example. A few skilled engineers built a powerful, generic tool for complex calculations that millions can use without knowing how to code it themselves.

Because writing code has been difficult and time-consuming, developers have focused on creating abstract, one-size-fits-all software. The goal was to build a single product that could serve millions of people.

This scarcity creates a few problems. First, it puts immense power in the hands of a small group of people. Second, it forces us to rely on generalized solutions.

Think about reading and writing. Humanity made a huge leap when literacy became widespread. It enabled shared knowledge, accelerated progress, and connected people in new ways. Code, however, has not had the same journey.

I taught myself to code growing up and have always been fascinated by building things. This journey led me from the tech industry to entrepreneurship, co-founding companies like Voxler and Clipdrop. Through it all, I've seen how powerful the ability to code is.

It keeps the conversation stuck in the old way of thinking about code, where it’s a scarce resource, created only by a select few. Vibe coding isn't just about making coding easier; it's about fundamentally changing who can create with technology.
