The Vibe Coding Builder Kit: Your Resource Vault to Start Building With AI as a Non-techie

Learn the lingo of modern software to speak Dev and think like one, so you get to ask smarter. Build faster—with your private AI workspace.

Building with AI for someone with no technical background today feels like standing in front of a dozen glowing dashboards — each promising a shortcut to “real software” just to produce barely wired software with error loops.

Every week, a new CodeGen platform or AI-assisted coding tool claims to be the best, and the AI influencer camp booms with overwhelming noise that fills the already crowded filter bubble about the latest AI features.

But if you look closely, the underlying LLMs powering them are the same handful of models that keep swapping positions on the SWE-Bench leaderboard.

For a non-technical person venturing into the world of building with AI, it can be overwhelming.

The features on these platforms change so rapidly that even traditionally trained developers struggle to keep up. Trust me, I know.

That’s why I recommend starting with the fundamentals for non-techies.
No, not coding syntax or memorizing functions — but learning what actually transfers across platforms and tools: fluency.

Fluency in how modern software is structured.

Fluency in describing the product you’ve envisioned — clearly, in developer language, so the AI can generate what you imagined perfectly despite its non-deterministic nature.

It’s about learning to speak like a developer and think like one, in scaffolds.

That’s where the Vibe Coding Builder Kit comes in.

It’s your resource vault to learn the lingo, grasp the scaffolds that make up modern software, and start building with clarity — without writing a line of code.

It’s a pair of well-structured Notion templates designed for non-techies who want to create real software — from personal “software-for-one” builds to back-office solutions and workflow streamliners — but don’t yet know where to start, overwhelmed by the stream of AI-powered platforms and tools all promising a fully functional website or app in just minutes, but end up delivering half-wired products with error loops to deal with.

For a non-techie, it is a stopgap from the frustration that awaits those who do not speak Dev and think like one from the outset.

The Vibe Coding Builder Kit is not a course.

The Vibe Coding Builder Kit is not a tutorial.

It is a resource full of the fundamentals to speak Dev and think like one, in scaffolds.
