A friend asked me, "You study Vibe Coding every day, what amazing app have you created? Give me a link to check it out?"

I laughed and didn’t provide a link. Because this question itself is trapped in the logic of an old era.

Most people’s understanding of Vibe Coding is still at the tool level, thinking "you can write an app without understanding code." They search for a large amount of AI-generated code on the screen, still worrying about whether this thing can be delivered smoothly and whether it can be commercialized.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

Vibe Coding is not meant to take away the jobs of excellent product managers who have been in the workforce for twenty years, nor is it about making you a super individual competing with Google’s business empire every day, nor is it about guiding you to quickly produce products to compete in the already saturated SaaS service market.

Honestly, my thoughts are very pure; Vibe Coding is simply an AI reconstruction aimed at "personal workflow."

If you are still struggling with what a "finished product" is, consider these three reflections I have:

The greatest work is using AI to reconstruct your "social attributes"

In the traditional workplace structure, what are we?

We are a "carrot pit." You are responsible for the front-end, he is responsible for the budget, the product manager is responsible for supplementation, and most of the time is wasted on the friction costs of cross-departmental collaboration. To push a project forward, 90% of your energy is consumed in communication, waiting, and granular details.

But what is the essence of Vibe Coding? It is "one person army."

When you learn to control code using natural language, you no longer need to rely on headphones that can never meet deadlines, you don’t need to beg designers for graphics, and you don’t need to waste most of your time on cross-departmental collaboration.

You can use Vibe Coding to pre-rehearse product design diagrams, simulate and implement logic in advance, thus identifying potential problems before cross-departmental business feedback, greatly enhancing inter-departmental collaboration efficiency.

So, abstractly speaking, the greatest work of Vibe Coding is that you have successfully freed yourself from dependence on others.

Your workplace identity transforms from a "T-shaped talent" to a "super cluster," where a multi-skilled "screw" will become the fastest depreciating asset in the Vibe Coding era.

You are no longer a part waiting for instructions; you have become a closed-loop system. This sense of control, this "execution power" that allows you to do what you think of immediately, is what you should be most proud of as your "work."

Recursive Evolution: Awakening the "Execution Layer" of AI in Your Brain

Many people use AI to "slack off," and they do it secretly, always feeling it’s undignified, as if they are cheating students.

But in my logic, the core of Vibe Coding is to "arm" your thinking with AI, to use it to replace yourself in completing all the tedious and laborious tasks, but you must always be the "general" who sets the strategy and makes decisions, because you need to be wary of AI getting confused and causing some other coefficient losses.

In the era of Vibe Coding, AI is like your tireless, omniscient engineering team.

In the past workflow: you have 10 points of inspiration, but 9 points of energy are consumed by code errors, environment configuration, and document research, leaving you with only 1 point of output.

In the current workflow: you keep that 10 points of inspiration and throw all the remaining 90 points of execution details to AI. I don’t understand Python syntax? AI writes it. I don’t understand API documentation? AI reads it. I don’t even know what architecture to use? AI provides a solution, and I choose.

This is not just an efficiency improvement; it is a "step-up."

Abstractly speaking, you can not only let AI help with the work, but also let AI teach your AI commands (skills, gems, guided learning, etc.) to work, and after the work is done, let your AI help review and debug to deliver a final result.

In the end, you can delegate all the "how" to AI; you only need to consider the more macro "what."

In this process, AI is no longer an external tool; it has internalized into a "co-processor" of my brain. Ultimately, AI can help handle all the tedious, repetitive, energy-consuming "execution actions," allowing me to shift my precious brain bandwidth entirely to the core "decision-making" and "aesthetics."

Therefore, the endgame of Vibe Coding is not about what code you write, but how high-frequency your thinking and AI can synchronize.

You don’t need to deliver anything to the world; you only need to satisfy "yourself"

This is the most brutal and realistic point.

99% of the Vibe Coding tutorials out there teach you how to make money with a SaaS, how to become an independent hacker super individual.

I can only say that these are just motivational platitudes; don’t dream. In a mature industrial and commercial environment, good products require extremely complex pricing systems, distribution channels, and compliance risk control. That is a game for geniuses, capital, and mature teams, not for ordinary people.

The biggest misconception for ordinary people is that they just started but always want to use AI to deliver something to others in exchange for applause or money.

I can only say that these belong to a small number of geniuses or outliers. Most ordinary people can truly reap the benefits of Vibe Coding, which is actually "internally growing."

An automated script may never be sold, and the interface may be ugly, but it saves you 2 hours of garbage time doing reports every day; you create a data analysis tool, the code may be messy, but it helps you see signals in the complex stock market or cryptocurrency world that others cannot see.

Really, that is enough.

For most people, Vibe Coding is not about making you the next Peter-level (solo, earning millions a year), but about giving you a customized "secret weapon" that belongs only to you, which can effectively enhance your efficiency in your current job, business, and life.

Finally, to emphasize, good products will naturally emerge, but that belongs to a very small number of geniuses.

And most people can use Vibe Coding to become stronger, no longer constrained by the technical town, no longer trapped in inefficient processes, and that is already worth being content with.

So, the next time someone asks you, "What is your Vibe Coding work?"

You can confidently point to your head and say, "The work is right here."
