As a full-stack developer, I’ve come to appreciate a few timeless truths:

• Code will rot faster than bananas if left unmanaged.
• Technical debt accrues interest like a bad credit card.
• And naming a function thingyHandler() will come back to haunt you.

Lately, though, I’m seeing more developers discussing vibe coding, the practice of opening your editor, skipping all structure, and letting the universe guide your keystrokes.

No plan. No backlog. Just you, the code, and maybe some lo-fi beats. It’s agile, if agile got hit on the head and forgot what “sprint planning” is.

Now, I get it. There’s real creative power in the flow state. Some of my best ideas were born from a “vibe session.” But after a decade in this game, I’ve learned something important:

If you don’t understand your code, no one else will. Including Future You.

So here’s my honest, serious-but-not-too-serious question:

Is vibe coding a valid part of the creative process if you follow it up with proper refactoring, review, and documentation, or is it just solo jazz improvisation that eventually ends with a team-wide refactor and some passive-aggressive comments in code review?

Anyone out there deploying vibes now?

Thoughts?

You Don’t Need Talent to Code — You Need Reps.
Let’s kill the myth:

You don’t have to be a genius to be a great developer.
You don’t need to be “naturally gifted.”
You definitely don’t need to wait until it all magically “makes sense.”
What you need?

👉 Reps.
Lines of code.
Frustrating bugs.
Trial, error, and doing it all again tomorrow.

Still think talent is the secret?

Then explain this:
Why do the “non-techy” folks end up
⚡️ Building better apps
⚡️ Landing jobs faster
⚡️ And talking about code with confidence
…while the “smart” ones flame out after two tutorials?

Because they showed up and put in the work.
Again.
And again.
And again.

💥 Coding Reps Look Like This:
🔁 Rebuilding the same app until it actually makes sense
🐛 Staring at the same bug until it finally clicks
🧱 Writing the login system five times before it finally works
🚀 Deploying, failing, fixing, shipping anyway

It’s not always pretty.
It’s not supposed to be.
But every line of code is a mental push-up.
No reps, no results.
The people who make it?
Aren’t the smartest.
They’re the most consistent.

They kept coding while everyone else was binge-watching tutorials.
📌 You’re not behind.
📌 You’re not broken.
📌 You just need more reps.

The most powerful switch you can flip as a person who wants to learn code:

From: “I’ll learn when I feel ready.”

To: “I’ll start now, and get ready by doing.”

Structured learning accelerates everything.
