Vibe coding can launch your ideas faster than ever — but only if you know how to guide it.
Learn the rules, avoid the traps, and you’ll build apps that actually last. 🚀

Everyone ignores the technical debt

Fast, dirty building feels great in the beginning.

But every messy shortcut you let slip today becomes tomorrow’s mountain of tech debt.

Most are not aware about the security vulnerabilities that come with vibe coding

When AI writes your app, it often skips crucial things like input validation, authentication checks, and rate limiting.

This leaves giant holes hackers can exploit.

AI Doesn't Understand Real-World Business Logic

AI only follows instructions; it doesn’t anticipate messy real-world problems.

Business logic has to come from you.

Troubleshooting produces even more problems than when you started

Sometimes, you ask AI to fix one bug — and it causes three more.

Without clear guidance, AI tries to "help," but often patches things in weird, unstable ways.

You can’t understand the code AI produced

One of the biggest traps: letting AI spit out big chunks of code you don’t actually understand.

It feels productive... until something crashes and you have no clue where to even start.

Can’t actually code (not even a little)

You don't need to be a senior engineer to vibe code — but total coding ignorance will limit you.

Even basic skills like reading Python, fixing simple bugs, or understanding API calls make a huge difference.

Can’t expand the app beyond MVP

Many people manage to build a beautiful MVP in record time — but when it's time to scale, things break down. Without a real foundation underneath, you realize you can't easily add new features, handle more users, or even update the backend easily.

Prompts that are quick to lose context

When you start vibe coding, it feels magical. But if your prompts aren't detailed enough, AI quickly loses track of what you're building. One small misunderstanding early on? It snowballs into confusing, broken apps.

But it's not something you can afford to have unless you're very successful and you can broaden it

How I applied the course I bought?

On data science because I wanted to provide my followers and students with a better and more approachable learning experience.

In today's economy, most people can't afford to fail more than once, but the path to successful entrepreneurship is rocky and barefoot.

And another tip, if creators tell you you don't need a niche, know that you're actually the niche.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
Most creators who sell these courses are relevant to do so because they worked with different brands, academies and have actually failed multiple times before launching.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
Because I have over 9 years of experience in digital marketing through copywriting, content strategy, marketing strategy, marketing analyst.

I've helped entrepreneurs grow and build wealth before personal brand became the buzzword.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
I see so many people with usernames like

- MoneywithX
- WealthwithY
- AbundantGirlZ

I immediately know they're fresh graduates from a digital marketing course. Why am I relevant to say this?
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
Instead apply your branding course knowledge on something you already know how to do.

Make a course on crocheting, coding, copywriting - something in your niche. And if you want to really be good in personal branding offer it as a service and not product.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
You shouldn't use what you learned to sell another course on branding or digital marketing as a whole, because that shows you didn't learn anything and you don't have the necessary experience that makes you credible to sell another course.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
In 2023,I learned I oversaturated my niche and it was time to learn something new. I purchased a course on personal branding.

There were things I already knew and there were new skills I learned, not one moment I regretted buying it and you shouldn't either.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
But there is one thing you're doing wrong from the start. You're copying the niche and sales strategy of your course creators and it's hindering your growth.

Why?

Because there's so many of you projecting the strategy so many personal brands are utilizing.
April 3, 2025 at 7:21 PM
Is this you?

Recently laid off, recent graduate, student SAH Mom, dad, you name it. You purchased a course that costs $500, did everything right, yet nothing works?

No one tells you that personal brand journey is full of ups and downs, trial and error and failures.
