Exactly this. I'm a self taught PHP/jQuery guy that learned it well enough to make an entire saas that enough companies pay for that it's a decent little lifestyle business.

I started another project recently basically vibe coding in PHP. Instead of a single page app like I made before, it's just page by page single loading. Which means the AI also only needs to keep a few functions and the database in its head, not constantly work on some crazy ui management framework (what that's called).

It's made in a few days what would have taken me weeks as an amateur. Yet I know enough to catch a few 'mistakes' and remind it to do it better.

I'm happy enough.
