Why I'm Learning To Code In The Age Of Vibe Coding
How-To Geek, Tuesday, April 7th, 2026
Vibe coding is the trend now, with many people claiming you don't need to learn to code anymore because of it. But I'm going the other way, and I'll share with you why.
The hype of vibe coding
It can't solve everything
Every day I log into Reddit, I come across at least a few posts about people vibe coding their first app. The same goes for other social platforms. There's no doubt that vibe coding is attracting more and more non-coders to creating software.
Think about a few years ago when LLMs weren't so popular. If you were interested in programming or wanted to create an application? You had to commit to a long journey of learning how to code. Depending on your ability, it could be expensive both time-wise and money-wise. Many great ideas never saw the light just because the ideator didn't know how to code and couldn't hire developers.
