Jason M. Lemkin explains how Vibe coding platforms let you build nontrivial apps in minutes by sharing a single codebase and database, with an AI agent that modifies live code across all environments at once.
I was just using a Vibe coding platform that is used by many. And I did not. I did not understand that it. That the agent helped me build the website, build the platform, but also change any line of code. Even when it was out in the wild, even when it was out in the real world. I did not understand. Obviously, for folks that haven't done it, it'll be new to them. We have preview, staging, and production servers. It's been done since the dawn of web software. You had three. You have preview, which is what us guys work on in the office, right? Then when you're ready to go, go out in the real world, you put it up on stagings, you carefully test it. It simulates the real world. It's locked down. It's run as close to the real world as humanly possible, but you're not exposing it to customers and customer data. And then when you find they're comfortable on stage and you flip it into the real world production, and it's. That's locked the hell down. It can't be touched. And for these vibe apps to roll at the pace they do, which is for. I mean, Harry, I've been addicted for real. Not. Not a joke. You saw me. I. I miss board meetings. When I was vibe coding, even last night, I got a DM from the CEO of Gorgeous are coming up 100 men. Are you coming to the board meeting this week? I'm like, there's what. This is not a joke. I forgot. I didn't read my emails. Okay. I was. I was addicted. I love. I love Vibe coding. I love it. I love these apps. But one of the reasons they're so fast and agile is everything shares the same database. It all shares the same code. So that's really fun when you start a project, right, because it works at Lightspeed. I mean, it's magic, dude. Like, go to Lovable or, Or. Or any of these apps and type in. I want to build an app for VCs that do weekly podcasts and share data. I want to see who's in what deal. I want you to research it. I want you to force rank them each week for fun. And then email. Email everyone and tell them who's best. You can build that in 30 minutes.
