Ask HN: Vibe Coding for Technical-Ish Founders?

from the ask-hn dept.

After a successful exit and several years in the wilderness I've started coding again.

I'm a 3 out of 10 as an engineer, but I have been vibe coding (ChatGPT + GitHub + Render) to build an MVP after having been the founder/CEO of a successful company. I'm finding it EXHILARATING to be able to build Node.JS applications with so much ease. I feel like a 6/10 as a programmer now rather than "just a sales and marketing-focused CEO" type.

I'm wondering if there are other founders here who are willing to share what their vibe coding stack is and what other content/courses/resources you know about that are allowing you to go from idea to MVP much faster using new AI copilot tools. I'm not planning to become a technical lead - I'm most valuable as a sales and marketing focused CEO...but I'm wondering what's in your tool kit?

Unless you have a solid understanding of network security, you are going to want a traditionally-educated technical cofounder (or an extremely talented team of lawyers on-staff).

Thank you for that reminder. Do you have any advice that directly addresses my question?
