Controversial Take: Everyone Should Learn Vibecoding and Create Microtools

As a former financial consultant, I always wanted to create my own tools to visually present a client's financial position. This meant spending days tinkering with Excel formulas and charts, which was extra difficult for me because I'm red-green colorblind.

Fast forward to today. After jumping from finance to tech, it's mind-blowing that anyone, with no coding background, can now make those same tools in minutes. The financial planning calculator in the video I'm sharing took literally 2 minutes of work including publishing. That's something that would have taken me at least 2-3 days in Excel.

While the focus is often on big SaaS web apps, I think a huge part of vibecoding is for ordinary people solving a specific, niche problem with a simple HTML/JS/CSS file. I call this the "million problem framework." In the past, no one would bother creating these small tools because it was too expensive. Now, with AI, anyone who is an expert in their field can build their own micro-tool just by knowing how to prompt.

Vibecoding is no longer optional, it is going to be an essential part of any one's toolkit.

Do you think AI vibecoding should be taught in schools?
