Introduction
Creating a website is so easy. Anyone can vibecode it if they follow a few easy steps.
Step 1 - Train
Understanding where to look, copy, paste, how to prompt and to fix thigngs might be a bit hard at first, but nothing you can’t overcome. You just need to spend a few weeks snooping around the internet (or chatting a lot with your fav bots) to get your footing. Then its about practising the basics for a month or two.
Step 2 - Get better
Now that you have a little understanding, it is time to prompt something that will be actually important to you. When it fails or when you don’t know where to put it in the multitude of folders on the interface you just downloaded from Jerry’s blog after looking through Reddit for four hours, just know that all you lack is a bit of Knowledge!
no worries, just go back to Step 1 and train a bit more, just to get a hold of it.
Step 3 - Better yet?
No? Well, you’ve spent quite a lot of time online, and people keep talking about this file, this code, and they talk about manuals you don’t really want to read because you couldn’t understand the first one (why did this guy talk about locks, and ignore, and when you copied your website crashed and when you did CTRL+Z you ended up on another thing and -)
Maybe you need a bit of help. How about enrolling in a class? You could use the motivation.
Step 4 - See? You’re getting better
Congrats! You are 1 year in your pet project! And you’ve made some progress and gained some depth of understading. Can you fully understand what is happening when codex generates a new code? Not yet, but you can continue your journey in “vibe-coding” because anyone can build a website. You did, didn’t you?
Step 5 - Expert
Wow, after a few years of learning, training, failing, you can finally comfortably make a website! Is everything working? No. Do You understand Jerry’s posts and all the comments underneath? Yes! Reddit even makes sense now. Kind of.
This proves what we said at the beginning of this post. Now that we have AI, anyone can vibe their way into creating a website, you just need motivation, a few years of training, probably a mentor to keep you from smashing your laptop against a wall, someone’s shoulder to cry on when your code doesn’t work and when the (ugly-ass) colours don’t transfer onto the actual website, a bit of money when after having hit codex’s monthly limit for the n-th time you decide to hit “Upgrade”, etc.
Oh! And a. lot. of. time.
