Discovering Vibe Prompting
Why I Built This
"Ingeniátelas" — Use your ingenuity to get it done.
My grandmother would often say this to me. Unlike the generic "figure it out,""ingeniátelas" comes from the same root as "ingeniero" (engineer) and "ingenio" (ingenuity). It literally means "engineer your way through it" — find a creative solution using whatever you have.
In many ways, AI is the ultimate expression of "ingeniátelas" — it's about finding ingenious solutions to complex problems. But the true value comes when we share these solutions with our community.
You no longer need to know how to code—you just need to know what you want and how to describe it. Vibe prompting is about communicating a feeling, an aesthetic, or a purpose to AI, then letting it handle the technical implementation. It's development by description rather than by manual coding.
However, for more professional settings, this would be considered prompt engineering. The ability to craft precise instructions that guide AI to produce exactly what you need is becoming an essential skill in the modern development landscape.
Zero-Code Development Process
This diagram illustrates how vibe prompting can transform the development process, allowing AI to handle the coding while humans focus on describing what they want to create.
The Power of Vibe Prompting
Vibe prompting makes technology creation accessible to everyone by removing the need for extensive coding knowledge. By learning to communicate effectively with AI, people from diverse backgrounds can create digital solutions that previously would have required specialized programming skills.
This approach democratizes software development, allowing people to focus on what they want to create rather than how to code it.
Now imagine nurses building patient care apps, nutritionists creating diet planning tools, or teachers developing interactive learning platforms—all without writing a single line of code. There will be a time when this becomes the norm. Even today, a high school student with a brilliant idea can bring it to life through vibe prompting.
