## VIBECODING
* Creating software through intuition, flow, and AI.

## WHAT IS IT?
* Term coined by Andrej Karpathy (ex-Tesla AI Director).
* Describing what you want to AI to generate working code instead of writing it manually.

## THE OLD WAY vs THE VIBE WAY
* **The Old Way**: 30 minutes searching Stack Overflow for a fetch request.
* **The Vibe Way**: 15 seconds in Cursor to describe data loading logic.

## ACCELERATION
* Case Study: Pieter Levels built PhotoAI.com solo in 2 weeks ($100K MRR).
* Traditional approach would take a team of 5 roughly 3 months.

## THE ROLE OF THE HUMAN
* Product thinking: Understanding user needs.
* Prompt engineering: Context → task → format.
* Code review: Security checks and catching AI bugs.

## MARKET TRENDS
* 70% of new applications will be built with low-code or AI-assisted technologies by 2026 (Gartner).

## TOOLS OF THE TRADE
* **Cursor**: AI-first IDE.
* **Claude**: AI that builds working prototypes.
* **v0.dev**: AI UI generator by Vercel for React components.
* **Replit**: Agent that writes and deploys.
* **Bolt.new**: Fullstack apps in minutes.
* **Lovable**: App building through natural conversation.

## DEMOCRATIZATION
* Lowering barriers: $20/mo for AI tools vs 4 years of college.
* Enables designers, marketers, and even children to build functional software.
