Who Is the Real User of Vibe Coding? From Developer to the Source of the Idea (medium.com)

Vibe Coding — using natural-language “vibes” to drive AI code generation — has moved from experiment to mainstream in 2025, powered by LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude. Tools such as Lovable, Bolt.new, Windsurf, V0 and Base44 let developers convert prompts into React/Tailwind or Next.js components, full-stack apps, and automated debugging via agent-based workflows (Cascade agents, in-browser runtimes, npm/runtime integration). Reports suggest these tools can cut development time by over 50% and enable rapid prototyping, but most adopters today are still professional developers who use Vibe Coding to accelerate execution rather than originate ideas. The article argues the true opportunity is empowering the “source of the idea” — product managers, marketers, founders, operations staff and UI designers — who lack coding skills and create the demand for apps. Many existing systems still require code literacy; autocoder.cc is presented as a counterpoint: a no-code, idea-first Vibe Coding product that turns natural-language business scenarios into deployable applications (UI, backend, DB, auth, hosting) with SEO baked in (Schema.org structured data), editable via a visual editor and AI chat. The implication: by shifting from code-generation to idea-realization, these tools can democratize product delivery, shorten validation cycles, and reduce dependence on engineering teams, changing how products are built and tested.
