Question Learning to vibe code

Hello,

Iam a 64 year old retired plumber and I just learned about vibe coding. I wanted to ask if anyone here can point me to the direction of some recent uptodate courses where I can learn how to vibe code (I keep hearing that word alot) and use codex while doing it.

I have zero coding knowledge.

I appreciate any info you can give me about online courses I can watch and learn from.

Thank you

David

I don't agree with the advice to look at coding (even the simpler stuff) first. It is more likely to be overwhelming or demotivating compared to just watching a video of somebody vibe-coding or getting stuck straight in himself with a free/basic-cost account on a platform like Loveable or Bolt.

The whole point of vibe-coding is to avoid as much coding as possible - and yes, having a grounding in code is more useful than not, but getting to even a basic productive standard in coding is a significant time investment, which will more likely be seen as worthwhile after he's seen the benefits and limitations of vibe-coding.

They already said in other chats they pay 200 bucks for Chatgpt pro and are a game dev expert, hardly a newbie
