Levelsio Argues Mainstream Users Will Skip Coding Entirely
Pieter Levels argues ordinary users will not vibe code but will simply ask AI chat apps to handle tasks like bookkeeping, taxes or flyers. He compares this to personal homepages disappearing for normal users after Facebook and says the app layer is going away.

I am so confused why people don't understand this, I keep getting these replies
Don't you get it?
Normies don't vibe code, they just ask something like "do my bookkeeping" or "file my tax" or "organize a movie night and send invites" or "generate a flyer for movie night" or "edit my video"
They don't ever see code, vibe code, or do anything with code, their AI chat app just does it for them
Most of the software layer has already disappeared or will completely disappear for normies
Just like building personal homepages permanently disappeared for normies when Facebook launched ~2005
A lot like this picture where functions of individual devices all got replaced with a single device
Same happening with apps now

Neil Magnuson @hustlin_heev@levelsio As someone who talked to my users
They are so so so not technical
Like boomers and marketer girlies
I cannot image them vibe coding anything
But maybe ur right, it’ll just get so good at u won’t need to think thru or problem solve.
