It’s mid-2026 and I still see people saying they don’t trust anything “vibe coded”. To me, that feels a bit like saying you don’t trust a designer who uses Illustrator instead of drawing a logo by hand. Tools are used for a purpose. What matters is who is using them, the decisions they make, and whether they understand what they are building. Yes, a lot of AI-built websites look the same right now. Dark backgrounds, gradients, glowing effects, tiny text. But plenty of websites built from scratch by people also look the same. We were copying trends and templates long before AI came along. I come from an architecture background. I’d consider myself an okay designer and a bad programmer, but I still enjoy coding. I started building websites when I was 17, so I’ve been doing this for more than 25 years. For me, AI is not just about generating code. It helps me research, debate decisions, challenge ideas, get feedback, improve things, and above all, save time. The biggest change is that instead of dreaming about a project for months, I can now build something quickly, iterate, put it in front of people, and see if it works before investing too much time into it. Like any other tool, AI can produce bad work when used badly. But dismissing it completely seems pointless. Unless you have a lot of free time and loads of money to keep doing everything the old-fashioned way, learning how to use these tools well seems far more useful than complaining about them.

Just in case you missed it. A vote from you will be helpful ;)

My new project: trigv.com Trigv sends push alerts to your phone for app errors, failed cron jobs, payments, signups, completed automations, and other events you don’t want to miss. Feels fun and challenging to build something outside WordPress for a change. #buildinpublic #SaaS
