Here’s Leah Tharin with a good reminder of what it means to ship, and how AI can (and cannot) help. In short, building is only one part of creating valuable products. Shipping involves:
- Ideation: There’s an idea
- Development: You build the idea
- Validation: You validate whether what you think the idea does is actually happening
Yes, vibe coding tools like Lovable et al. help you to ship things faster, but only as long as these ideas struggle with the “development” part and don’t need Ideation and Validation.
