What I've realised for myself about AI
~3 min read
What I've realised (for myself) about AI coding (or vibe coding) tools — they're actually helping designers understand technical concepts. Even for those with no coding background.
These tools guide you through every stage: designing, coding, deploying on GitHub, hosting, adding a database, etc. What used to feel impossibly complex is now something you can actually try yourself as a non-coder.
The benefits are huge
Yes, everyone's talking about designers and product managers building million-dollar SaaS apps without coding knowledge. But there's something even more valuable: these tools help you speak the same language as developers. You understand their concerns more deeply. You can bring already-validated, coded ideas to the table.
And also for quick prototyping — instead of spending hours in Figma, you can share something that's already clickable and interactive. Validate faster. Iterate in Cursor or similar tools and see what actually works.
The best part?
It works across all frameworks and platforms — whether you're designing for Web or iOS applications.
What this doesn't mean
Let me be clear: this doesn't replace developers. Complex architecture, performance optimization, security, scalability — these things still require real engineering expertise. What these tools do is bridge the gap between "I have an idea" and "I have a working proof of concept."
They're also not magic. You still need to understand design principles, user experience and what problem you're actually solving. A well-coded shitty idea is still a shitty idea.
The bottom line
Not everyone will become a millionaire just because building a SaaS (or whatever) app is "so easy" now.
But the curious minds who try these new tools, learn them, and adapt them to their workflow? They'll win. As they always do.
