Many people are still asking: "Should I learn programming?"

But the times have changed the question: Can you command AI to write code?

This is what is now called Vibe Coding: Atmosphere Programming.
You chat normally with AI, and it helps you turn your ideas into a runnable product.

You have upgraded from a "keyboard-tapping coder" to a "talking product manager" and a "decision-making architect."

The ancients said: "A gentleman is not different from others; he makes good use of things."
Those who can leverage tools are the truly smart people. AI is the most powerful "thing" of this generation.

The ability to break down problems

Essence: Break down large tasks into multiple small tasks to tell AI.

If you assign a huge task to AI to solve on its own, the results are often unsatisfactory, with many bugs.
So let AI learn to walk first, then learn to run.

How to practice?

Every day, pick an app you often use and ask yourself three questions:
What modules are there on the homepage?
(2) What happens when you click a button?
(3) Where should this information be stored?

Then send your disassembly to the AI and say:
"Help me implement this in a few steps, and please point out any unreasonable parts."

This is the simplest and most practical "product thinking training".

🧙‍♂️"Read" code, rather than stubbornly trying to write it.

In the era of Vibe Coding, the first step is not "being able to write", but "not being afraid to look".

Even if AI can solve 95% or 99% of the problems at present, the remaining 5% or 1% still need to be solved by oneself, so there should be no fear of coding.

How to practice?

Let AI generate a minimal project for you (such as a countdown page, random quote generator).

Then ask the code line by line:
"What is this part doing? Can you explain it in words I can understand?"
Write the explanation as Chinese comments and save it.

You don't need to tackle thick books all at once; you can start with this type of content:
Some introductory books that talk about "programming concepts and logic" instead of diving straight into grammar manuals;
The videos on Bilibili that "guide you through the code step by step" are more useful than those that purely explain grammar.

There is only one principle:
Understanding is a hundred times more important than writing quickly.

🧙‍♂️Prompt Engineering

Many people use AI to ask questions in a "hit-or-miss" manner;
Vibe Coding requires "designed questions".

How to practice?

Build your own "prompt notebook".
Every time I have a conversation with AI that has particularly good results, I save it.
Or write down good prompts when you see them.

The prompt should ideally include three parts:
Who are you → What do you want → What are the limitations
For example:
"You are now a front-end engineer, help me write a simple countdown page using HTML/CSS, requiring a clear code structure and comments in each part."

After seeing enough, you will naturally have your own "question template".

🧙‍♂️Debug Mindset: Stay calm, that's the skill.

Errors are normal; staying calm is a skill.

Some bugs cannot be solved by AI no matter how much you prompt it if you don't understand the code.
At this time, you can ask AI:
You haven't resolved this bug yet. What steps do you want me to take to help you check the bug?
Then follow the steps provided by AI step by step, and the problem can be solved by giving feedback to the AI.

Practical suggestions:

When an error occurs, don't just delete the database and start over. First, copy the error message for AI:
"Can you help me translate what this error is saying?"

Again ask:
"Can you help me guess which parts might have issues? Let's try step by step."

Cultivate a small habit:
When a bug occurs, record a sentence:
"What is the problem → How was it finally solved."

Over time, you will find that:
Debug logs are your growth notes.
