A couple of years ago, there was slowly growing hype around ‘no code’ tools, which some claimed may one day replace tradition software development (i.e. programming). Despite a reasonably extensive search, I couldn’t find a single successful SaaS or software startup that was made using ‘no code’ tools.
There were stories of people validating their idea using ‘no code’ i.e. building a very crude version of their startup quickly, and deeming ‘no code’ very useful because the benefits of fast idea validation outweighed the downsides of ‘no code’ (e.g. inextensible design, UX deficiencies, ‘toy app’ feel etc).
Fast forward to today, there’s a lot of hype around ‘vibe coding’, which can make existing devs more efficient. But have there been any cases of someone who couldn’t previously code being able to make a successful start up by way of ‘vibe coding’, if so, who/what?
