I’ve seen quite a few posts lately talking about how important context is when using AI to code. I couldn’t agree more. For me, vibe coding isn’t about asking the AI what to code, it’s about explaining what we want to achieve. It reminds me of something I heard years ago—programming is less about knowing how to do something and more about knowing what can be done.
As a senior developer, I’ve built up a strong understanding of the tools at my disposal—React, REST APIs, SQL, and many others. I also know what I want to achieve with the products I’m developing. When I bring that knowledge into the conversation with AI, I can guide it in the right direction and ensure the tools are being used correctly. That combination feels like a genuine superpower.
I wouldn’t claim that AI makes me ten times faster, but it has changed the way I work. I’m now able to deliver far more value in the same amount of time. That shift in output and focus is where the real impact or AI Coding/Vibe coding lies.
