Since I started coding, I have seen developer communities strive to make programming more human-readable, almost like writing in English or a preferred language. Many modern languages introduced syntactic sugar to make code more intuitive and conversational. These efforts have made significant advancements, but now, we are witnessing something far more transformative.
Natural language can now be translated directly into functional software. The concept is trending and is widely referred to as vibe coding. It is an AI-first approach for rapid software development. Let me try to explain the idea with the help of a step-by-step diagram that I have added below. As the picture shows, you put down your thoughts or overall idea as a prompt. You direct what step you want to achieve or what is your end goal. The chat-based AI works on your prompt and comes up with a generated code. You preview the output of the code and can fine-tune it further. Once you are happy, you put that code into your server.
