Ask HN: Would you hire a "vibe coder"?

Sun, 03/23/2025 - 1:59pm

1. For the team leaders / engineering managers out there, would you hire someone that was a self-proclaimed "vibe coder"?

2. What, if any, amount of education in programming-related topics (cs, history, languages, architecture, etc) should be required before entering the workforce?

2b. Do you think a potential rise in "vibe coding" is going to make it more difficult for less experienced workers to actually learn on the job?

Ask HN: Vibe Coding for Technical-Ish Founders?

Sun, 03/23/2025 - 1:15pm

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?
