In this episode of #TechTalk, Amit and Rinat delve into 'Vibe Coding,' an approach in AI where coding is facilitated through conversational commands rather than traditional programming languages. We discuss how Vibe Coding simplifies the process by allowing users to instruct AI in plain English to generate code, enabling non-programmers and small business owners to create prototypes and simple applications effortlessly. We highlight the potential of Vibe Coding in rapid prototyping while acknowledging its current limitations in creating production-ready code.
