“Turn any idea into an App” via Vibe Coding is totally true yet

But there is an entire category of interactive toys / games that can be built with zero manual coding

Capabilities are only going to get more expansive from here

Starting to lean towards anyone can build a basic frontend with a basic server/database. 

Anything complex that requires systems to be managed and maintained are still the work of humans working with AI.

Thing is if you’re completely non technical… you don’t even KNOW when it’s wrong. Or where to look and you’re just relying on more LLMs.

For a basic express app with Postgres. Honestly Claude is great. 

But I think you mean a lovable dot dev style? Unsure, though I’m heard good things about Bolt.new

Intricate actions / animations on the Frontend. So not just basic html tags and forms. 

On the backend, almost all problems that come with scale.

At what point does simple become complex in your eyes

Vibe coding with zero knowledge is still impossible. I tested with my 10yo and we made a game together. The basic scaffolding, gameplay etc was easy, and he was amazed by it and had specific ideas on what he wanted to build. But past that stage it became almost impossible to make progress without knowing what functions and classes are and which function does what.
So the next day he asked me to teach him what functions are. Which is a win. 
But the point being, AI can't replace coders at least yet, can make them really fast and productive tho.
