This is actually something I’ve been debating. I’ve never coded seriously, but the idea of “vibe coding” with ChatGPT sounds low pressure and kind of fun? Especially for testing quick ideas or automating boring workflows. What’s the best beginner-friendly language or tool stack for PMs who want to build light prototypes?

Python all the way. It’s readable, forgiving, and works great with ChatGPT. I’m a PM too, and I’ve used it to build simple dashboards, automate reports, and even mock up product ideas. Bonus: tons of free resources out there.

Vibe coding is definitely the trend and does offer potential to build out a rapid prototype to get feedback from. Since your new to coding though I would start with an AI Platform like Replit or similar. In my experience even through the AI does some of the heavy lifting, you still need to understand code and best practices to make sure it builds something useable and doesn’t continuously break the code as you build out each layer (front end, backend, database, API, security, authentication, user roles, etc) The AI mostly does what you prompt it to do and it tough to prompt it correctly without a background in clean coding.

Also curious about this. I want to learn the fundamentals before leaning in to using ChatGPT, but there's so much out there I don't know where to start.

It's really fun. I would recommend python to start. The LLM can help you with the tool stack. For example, let's say you want to do some web scraping -- your LLM might recommend a library like BeautifulSoup. Or you want to take your local python script and make it web-based -- LLM may recommend Streamlit. My point is that it can guide you on the journey. However, I will give you one serious warning, and that is that the code you develop may have serious security vulnerabilities. One way you can at least try to ameliorate this issue is to ask the LLM to assess the code for vulnerabilities and suggest fixes (example, no hard-coding API secrets). Make sure that you have low limits set on any paid APIs you are using just in case. Finally, have the LLM explain the code to you -- it's important to actually understand what it is building.
