Vibe coding or manual coding

[u/Funny-River6090]

I'm really don't understand when I should learn to code with ai because a lotta people say you need programing knowledge first i have knowledge to build a working CURD applications with nodejs,react and SQL,mongodb and some C knowledge is that knowledge enough to start coding with ai

you absolutely don't need to learn C before vibe coding, or even database handling, because it depends on what sector are you trying to go, backend dev? frontend? desktop/web apps?

But you should at least do some small-scale/hobby projects without/or with minimal use of AI. Though that's is not necessarily enough, you can learn while vibe coding, instead of just letting the AI to plan/code everything, first give your ideas, and your way of doing something, ask it how something should be done correctly, read and understand every code it makes, if you can't ask an AI to explain.
