Early Adoptr: Simplifying AI For Founders & Small Businesses29 Jul

Just Because You CAN Vibe Code....SHOULD You Vibe Code? (w/ Sean Bhardwaj)

Vibe coding can build you almost anything now. A customer database, a little internal tool, a whole CRM in an afternoon. But some of those things could land you in a world of GDPR pain, and one or two you should never build at all.

In this final episode of the vibe coding series, Jess and Kyle are joined again by Sean Bhardwaj to work out where the line sits for a non-technical founder. They get into why building has become the easy part while distribution (aka getting people to actually use what you make) is still the hard part. They cover what belongs in the never-vibe-code pile, how much time it really takes to learn this properly, and why the answer to whether you should comes down to what you are actually trying to do.
