Stephan Smith
Fractional CTO · Boston, MA
I built Vibe Coding 101, and I'm giving it away on purpose. I'm tired of the online "you can't do it" mode, the condescension that tells non-coders they don't belong in the builder seat.
Not every developer talks that way. The best ones facilitate and enable. But there is a lot of noise about what you can't do with AI if you're not a developer. I believe people who aren't developers have a unique place in building applications, and that the right questions matter more than credentials.
Every day, thousands of apps are being built by people who do not have a traditional dev background. That is not going away. A balanced understanding of risk and reward matters, but the biggest takeaway from this guide is simpler: the right set of questions can lead to incredibly good outcomes.
I work as a fractional CTO. That role lets me step up out of the code and focus on how people, business, and code knit together to produce results. If you want a thinking partner on that, not a rescue coder, I'd welcome the conversation.
