Let’s explore some development basics for aspiring vibe coders, shall we?! In this episode I break down what a web app actually is, explain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in plain language, and get into two things that tend to get gatekept online: deploying your app so you can use it from anywhere, and setting up a database. It’s not the sexiest stuff to learn, but it’s super helpful to learn some of these basics instead of just asking Claude to make stuff and hoping for the best.
