AI can generate code. It can't decide what your product should be. That's why product thinking beats prompt engineering. #VibeCoding #AIcoding #ProductThinking #AIbuilders #SaaS

Transcript

Most people are using AI to write code, but the smart ones are actually using AI to think like product managers. Let me explain what I mean before you come for me. So when people hear the word vibe coding, what they think immediately is I go into Claude or I go into Codex and I describe an app and an AI builds it for me. But that's not entirely the case, okay? The best vibe coders aren't great because they just write better prompts. I believe they are great because they think clearly. Before they ask AI to build anything, they know, they sort of plan it out, right? They start thinking about who this is for, what problem it solves, what features actually matter, and what can actually wait, right? What the must-haves, the should-haves, and the won't-haves. Because here's the truth: if you go into Claude and you write a vague prompt, it's gonna create a vague product, because AI can generate code, right? But it can't read your mind. So good vibe coding isn't really just good product thinking explained in English language. I think it's an important skill. So just know that if you're vibe coding, AI is not there to replace your product thinking, but it's supposed to be there to expose what you already have. Let me know in the comment section below if there's any idea you would want to vibe code. I actually vibe coded over five apps in the last three months. So let me know in the comment section below if you're vibe coding any applications, what are some of the challenges you're facing, and also don't forget to save this video and also follow me so that you can keep seeing more contents like this.
