Since the ChatGPT moment in November 2022, I realized that the software industry was about to undergo a fundamental reshaping.

As a completely non-technical person, I dove headfirst into what people now call "vibe coding," and boy, was I in for a reality check.

To be clear, I’ve been “vibe coding” since November 2022; I’ve developed hundreds of tools for both my blog and newsletter, ranging from small to more complex ones. Yet, this time, I tried something different to develop an entire platform (at least I attempted).

Over the past few weeks, I spent around 100 hours at night and weekends building Konceptual AI, a platform I'd envisioned for years (at least I tried).

What I experienced was the brutal truth about non-technical "vibe coding" versus what technical developers are achieving with AI assistance. The difference isn't just significant; it's an entirely different universe.

Since the ChatGPT moment, I realized, after a few hours of experimenting with it, that the content industry was about to be reshaped entirely, but even more so, the entire software industry.


By the way, if you're interested in purchasing Konceptual AI, please get back to me, and we’ll see if we can agree on a mutually beneficial price. I’ll build a few more of these “platforms” in the coming months to see, as the tech progresses, what becomes feasible to achieve via “vibe coding.”

Try Konceptual AI
