For a very long time, I kept consuming content around vibe coding, AI tools that can help you create full SaaS products in less than 30 seconds, launch your company in less than 2 hours, make you a million dollars in less than a week.
Well, I called bullsh*t! Yet, I still couldn't let go of the FOMO. What if it's actually true? What if I can be a millionaire and the AI products are as good as they say they are? I was stuck in the what-if loop like a Marvel character with endless possibilities and questions in my head.
I did what any self-respecting adult would do: I procrastinated.
Things changed about 2 months ago when I joined a tech company in a product marketing role. Now there was more push to learn about these tools. Do they really work? Can they really make me productive enough to replace the CEO in less than a week? Oh! The imagination ran wild - a marketer with a degree in economics who has not written a single line of code other than `PRINT "Hello World"` in BASIC in the second grade makes CEO, grows the company to a billion dollars in less than 2 months.
Well? That definitely didn't happen, but I completely got the hype around these tools while playing with them for the last 2 months.
This story is about how much hype Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and their wrappers truly deserve from the perspective of a non-coder who learned everything by figuring stuff out on the go and now runs a team of 12 agents and countless personalized apps while leading marketing at a tech company.
