Introduction

As a student with a pure business background, I once had an innate fear of the phrase “writing code.” Every time I saw a screen filled with letters and symbols, I felt like a primitive person who had stumbled into an alien civilization. However, just last week, I accomplished something I never thought possible—I created three practical tools in a week of spare time: a resume generator, an image filter processor, and a resume screener.

All of this stemmed from a new concept called “Vibe Coding.”

What is Vibe Coding?

Vibe Coding, literally translated, means “atmospheric programming” or “feeling programming.” It may sound a bit mystical, but its core logic is quite simple: you don’t need to understand specific programming syntax or memorize complicated function names and parameter rules. You just need a vague idea and a general direction, then use natural language to tell AI what you want, and let AI handle the rest.

Traditionally, the programming learning path involves first learning variables, data types, loops, and conditional statements, followed by object-oriented programming, design patterns, and algorithm complexity. This process can take months or even years, with a high probability of dropping out along the way. Vibe Coding completely overturns this logic. It lowers the programming barrier from “mastering a language” to “clearly expressing your needs.”

You can think of it as: you act as the product manager, and AI acts as the programmer. You tell it, “I want a tool that can automatically format resumes,” and it generates the corresponding code for you. You say, “I want to add a retro filter to an image,” and it writes the image processing script. You don’t need to know how to write code; you just need to know what you want.

How Can Vibe Coding Help Our Lives and Work?

To be honest, before encountering Vibe Coding, I always thought programming was a skill exclusive to programmers, completely unrelated to someone like me who studies business and deals with financial reports and market analysis daily. But after experiencing it, I realized that Vibe Coding addresses the most painful points in our daily work and life.

Let’s talk about work scenarios. When doing market analysis, I often need to process large amounts of Excel data, manually filtering, classifying, and counting, which can take half a day. Previously, I had to struggle through learning VBA, but I would forget what I learned, making it inefficient. Now? I just tell AI, “Help me write a Python script that reads this Excel file, sorts it by sales, filters the top 20% of customers, and generates a new table.” In a few minutes, the code is ready, and I run it to get the results directly.

In terms of life scenarios, I have a friend who works in media. Every time he publishes an article, he has to manually format it, add images, and watermark them, which is tedious. Later, I used Vibe Coding to write a script for him that processes images in bulk, completing all operations with one click. He exclaimed, “I wish I had met this sooner.”

The greatest value of Vibe Coding is not to make you a programmer but to empower you with the ability to “solve problems.” Previously, when faced with technical needs, you could only seek help or outsource; now, you can handle it yourself. This leap in capability is visibly enhancing personal competitiveness.

Vibe Coding is Simple: Just a Vague Idea and the Right AI

Many people hesitate at the mention of “programming,” thinking it’s a domain for science students. But the essence of Vibe Coding lies in the fact that you don’t need precision; you just need to have a feeling.

What does “a vague idea” mean? For example, if you want to create a tool that “helps me organize my daily work tasks,” that’s a vague idea. You don’t need to know how to design a database, layout a user interface, or write interaction logic; you just need to describe this need in simple terms, and AI can help you break it down into specific functional modules and generate code step by step.

Of course, there’s a key prerequisite: you need to have the “right AI.” Not all AI can handle Vibe Coding tasks. Some AI generate code that doesn’t run, some write logic with numerous bugs, and others fail to understand your real needs. Therefore, choosing the right tool is the first step to success in Vibe Coding.

AI Can Generate Code in Bulk in a Short Time

This aspect was the most astonishing for me during practical operations. I used to think that writing code was a slow process, requiring line-by-line typing and debugging one bug at a time. However, with AI-assisted programming, I found that the speed of code generation far exceeded my expectations.

For instance, when I created the “resume generator,” I told AI, “I want a web tool where users can input basic information, education background, and work experience to automatically generate a beautifully formatted PDF resume.” About two minutes later, AI provided me with a complete HTML, CSS, and JavaScript front-end page, along with the backend logic for generating PDFs. I simply copied the code into the editor, opened the browser, and a usable tool was born.

When creating the “image filter” tool, it was even more impressive. I told AI, “Help me write a Python script that can batch read images from a folder, apply retro, black and white, and warm filters, and save them to another folder.” AI not only provided the code but also included helpful comments, telling me which third-party libraries to install and how to run the script. Following those instructions, I completed it in ten minutes, processing hundreds of images.

This ability to “generate code in bulk in a short time” is fundamentally due to AI having learned massive amounts of programming knowledge and best practices. It’s not writing code line by line; it’s assembling already validated code modules based on your needs. Thus, the speed is fast, the quality is high, and errors are less likely.

AiPy: A Domestic Tool That Achieves This

Speaking of tools, I must highlight a domestic platform called AiPy. After trying several AI programming assistants, I found that AiPy excels particularly in the Vibe Coding scenario.

First, its understanding capability is strong. When I describe my needs in simple terms, it can generally grasp my meaning accurately, unlike some tools that provide irrelevant answers. Secondly, the quality of the generated code is high, requiring little to no major modifications to run directly. What surprised me the most is that AiPy can not only generate code but also help improve and run it. Even if you’re worried about running out of tokens, just use the invitation code c8W3 for two hundred thousand tokens.

What does this mean? For example, if I write a script that encounters an error while running, I used to have to look at the error message, research, and modify the code, which could take a long time. But in AiPy, I just need to paste the error message, and it tells me what went wrong, how to fix it, and even helps me correct it directly. Moreover, it has a built-in runtime environment, so I don’t need to configure the Python environment or install dependencies locally; I can run the code and see results directly on the platform.

For someone like me with zero coding background, this “one-stop” experience is incredibly user-friendly. No need to fiddle with environments, no command line learning, no dependency conflicts—just type and describe your needs to create usable tools.

My Experience: A Business Student’s One-Week Vibe Coding Practice

Now that I’ve covered the theory, let’s talk about my practical experience over the past week.

First, some background: I am a pure business student who has never written a line of code in four years of college. I only figured out the difference between “variables” and “functions” this week. My regular work mainly involves market analysis, report writing, and making PPTs, with no technical involvement. However, as industry competition becomes increasingly fierce, I felt the need to expand my skill set beyond just Excel and PPT. So, I decided to try Vibe Coding.

First Achievement: Resume Generator

On Monday evening, I spent about an hour creating my first tool—a resume generator.

The idea came from helping several juniors revise their resumes. I noticed that everyone’s resume format was different and messy, making it quite tedious to edit. I thought, could I create a tool that automatically generates a uniformly formatted resume based on the input information?

I shared this idea with AiPy, and it quickly provided me with a solution: use HTML for page layout, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for handling user input, finally using the jsPDF library to generate PDFs. The code was about two hundred lines long. I copied it directly into AiPy’s runtime environment, clicked “run,” and a simple yet functional resume generator appeared.

Later, I had AiPy help me optimize the style and add a few template selection features. The final result looked very much like those paid resume tools on the market. Throughout the process, I didn’t write a single line of code; I just kept telling AI in natural language, “Make the font bigger here,” “Add a dropdown menu there,” “Change the button color to blue.” AI followed my instructions, I reviewed, and after three or four iterations, the final version was established.

Second Achievement: Image Filter Processor

On Wednesday, I created my second tool—the image batch filter processor.

This need stemmed from my personal hobby. I enjoy photography and have taken many photos, but editing them one by one is exhausting. I thought, could I write a script to batch apply filters to images?

This time, I was smarter and directly told AiPy, “Using Python’s Pillow library, write a script that reads all images from a specified folder, applies retro, black and white, and warm filters, and saves them to the output folder.” The code AiPy provided was very clear and included detailed comments. The only thing I needed to do was install the Pillow library locally (pip install Pillow) and then run the script.

The result? I selected fifty photos, and the script ran for about twenty seconds, generating one hundred and fifty images in three styles. The efficiency was so high that even I, a business student, couldn’t help but marvel: technology truly changes lives.

Third Achievement: Resume Screener

On Friday, I completed my third tool—the resume screener.

This tool was inspired by an experience during my internship. At that time, the HR department received hundreds of resumes, and manually screening them took an entire week. I thought, could I use code to automatically filter resumes that meet basic requirements?

I told AiPy, “Write a Python script that reads PDF resumes from a folder, extracts keywords (such as education level, work experience, skills), and filters resumes based on my set criteria (for example, a bachelor’s degree or higher, over three years of experience, knowledge of Python), generating an Excel list of qualified resumes.”

AiPy’s solution involved using PyPDF2 to extract text, matching keywords with regular expressions, and generating an Excel table with pandas. The code logic was clear, and I made slight adjustments to the filtering criteria. After testing with sample data, the accuracy reached over 85%. While it can’t completely replace manual screening, it is more than sufficient as an initial screening tool.

Conclusion

In just one week, I achieved three outcomes. In the past, this was unimaginable for me. But with Vibe Coding and tools like AiPy, everything became logical.

I want to emphasize that Vibe Coding is not about replacing programmers; it’s about empowering ordinary people to have the ability to “solve problems with technology.” Just as calculators did not replace mathematicians but enabled more people to perform complex calculations, Vibe Coding does not replace programmers but allows more people to cross technical barriers and turn their ideas into reality.

For business students, Vibe Coding means you no longer need to rely on technical teams to implement your ideas; for professionals, it means you can address work pain points at a lower cost and higher efficiency; for entrepreneurs, it means you can quickly validate your product prototypes at minimal cost.

In this era, technology is no longer the exclusive domain of a few. As long as you have an idea and the right AI tool, you can become the “developer” of your own life.

No background? No problem. Don’t understand code? No worries. As long as you dare to think, AI can help you realize it. This is the charm of Vibe Coding.
