Today, you can code without actually knowing how to code.
There are AI platforms that do it for us. Just describe what you want in plain language, and the system automatically generates the code, the interface, and the logic.
That’s the promise behind what some are calling Vibe Coding: we don’t write commands anymore — we express intentions.
And the machine turns them into software.
A revolution, no doubt. But also a simplification that might make us forget what’s under the hood.
The idea is to make digital creation accessible to everyone, even to those with zero technical background.
It’s like saying: “I want an app to schedule appointments”… and poof, there it is — ready to go, without writing a single line of code.
Does it work? Sometimes yes. Often, no.
Because behind every piece of software, there’s complexity.
There are logical rules, hidden bugs, problems to fix.
And more importantly, one question we can’t ignore:
If something breaks… who’s going to fix it?
The AI? What if it stalls or doesn’t solve the issue?
Which, let’s be honest, happens a lot.
If the code was generated automatically, without explaining how, with no readable trace left behind… who can step in and debug it?
Who guarantees it’s secure, efficient, compatible?
The risk is that we get too comfortable using tools we don’t actually understand.
And when that happens, we stop being creators.
We become just users.
Vibe Coding is fascinating, sure.
But it’s not magic.
It’s just a new way of giving orders to machines.
And every time we delegate too much without understanding, we open the door to new risks.
Technology can help us.
But knowledge is never optional.
And anyone who truly works in tech knows this.
Do we really want to replace programmers with AI?
Good luck with that.
