info_outlineIn this episode, Rina and Phelan unpack the emerging concept of “vibe coding” — a way of creating applications and automations without traditional coding knowledge. They explore how AI can generate functional code from natural language prompts, allowing non-developers to build apps, plugins, and scripts by simply describing outcomes.
The conversation moves from simple use cases like Google Ads scripts and Chrome extensions to more advanced scenarios such as WordPress plugins, e-commerce tools, and micro SaaS products. Along the way, they discuss the benefits (faster prototyping, lower costs, democratized access) and the risks (security vulnerabilities, scaling issues, and the need for expert oversight).
Real-world examples include using Python libraries like Beautiful Soup to scrape data, leveraging APIs for automation, and testing ideas quickly before investing in full-scale development. The hosts emphasize that vibe coding is like a digital sketchbook — perfect for experimentation — but highlight when it’s time to bring in professional developers for refinement, security, and scaling.
