AI-enabled "vibe coding" turns plain-English prompts into working code, allowing users to build functional web applications without formal computer science education. AI tools reduce the need for deep technical know-how and years of training by automating code generation and scaffolding. Platforms such as Lovable, Cursor, and Replit enable non-technical users to prototype and ship products quickly. As a result, coding language mastery becomes less central for some development tasks. Employers increasingly emphasize rapid learning, adaptability, and the ability to deliver high-quality products over traditional degrees and credentials in hiring decisions.
Anton Osika, the 35-year-old CEO of the vibe coding platform Lovable AI, told Business Insider last week that a standard computer science degree "isn't useless" or "worthless" but its value has changed, and "the leverage has moved." Osika said that AI removes the need for "technical know-how" and "years of training" because people now have the tools to turn ideas into working products, "without ever touching a formal CS [computer science] education," by vibe coding - using AI tech that does the work for you.
"Vibe coding" is the practice of using AI coding assistants like Lovable, Cursor, and Replit to turn written prompts into code - and even Google CEO Sundar Pichai admitted in June to "vibe coding" his own website for fun.
Huang noted that since AI now enables non-technical users to write code by giving prompts in plain English, there's no longer a need to learn coding languages like Python and C++ to develop code.
