BRIEFED #10: Do you even vibe code, bro?

Welcome back to Briefed by ThunderWear – your backstage pass to bold ideas and bolder underwear.

This edition? It’s all about unlocking modern-day superpowers—and no, we’re not talking about x-ray vision (unless you count scanning thousands of lines of data in seconds).

For years, the world’s most powerful tools—like software development, automation, and data analysis—were out of reach unless you spoke fluent tech. That million-dollar idea you had in the shower? It probably fizzled out because you “couldn’t code.”

But not anymore.

AI is the new cheat code. It’s giving creative minds, ambitious hustlers, and even total non-coders a serious edge. Whether you're building a brand, launching a business, or just trying to automate boring tasks, AI is leveling the playing field.

In this issue, we’ll explore how to harness AI tools for creators, meet a founder who's making this tech accessible for everyone, and—as always—make sure your boys are dressed for global domination.

Estimated read time: 4 minutes. (Or less time than it takes for AI to write your resignation letter. Just kidding… mostly.)

Let’s go 🚀

THE CREATOR'S CHEAT CODE: How AI is killing "I Can't Code" for good 🧠

Let's pour one out for the "Idea Graveyard" – that desolate place in your mind where brilliant, world-changing concepts go to die. Their epitaph? "Would've been awesome, but I'm not a tech bro."

For years, technical skill was a velvet rope guarded by jargon-slinging gatekeepers. Great ideas from smart, creative people were left on the outside looking in. Well, that party's over. AI just crashed the gates, and it's pouring shots for everyone.

Forget thinking of AI as a 'tool.' Think of it as your new digital accomplice; your on-demand tech genie, minus the questionable fashion choices and three-wish limit. It’s a universal translator for your ambition. You bring the vision, the taste, the why. AI handles the grunt work of turning your plain-English commands into functional code. The new currency isn't code; it's vision and clarity.

And this isn't some far-off techno-utopian dream. It's happening right now in Singapore, led by people like Sherry Jiang and her initiative, Code with AI. Sherry, a non-technical founder herself, hacked the system by learning to wield this new superpower. After taking a "2-day vibe coding class," she successfully built a real product. Now, through her workshops, she’s already freed over 200 creators from the 'I can't code' prison.

Sherry isn't just teaching a skill; she's arming a new generation of creators with the ultimate unfair advantage. She's proving that your vision, not your technical vocabulary, is now your most valuable asset. We sat down with Sherry to talk about battling 'tech bro' gatekeeping, the "holy sh*t" moments in her workshops, and her no-BS advice for anyone paralyzed by tech anxiety.

What was the single most frustrating piece of "tech bro" advice or gatekeeping you encountered as a non-technical founder that made you say, "Okay, screw this, I'm building my own damn solution"?

Everyone loves to say, “You need a technical co-founder to even start.” But that’s just not true anymore. With AI, you can just BUILD things. For me, I had all these weird ideas I wanted to test - waiting around for someone else to validate or ship them just felt like a waste of time. So I stopped waiting and just started doing.

You call it a "vibe coding class." What's the biggest "holy sh*t, I can actually do this!" moment that people have when they're in one of your sessions?

Definitely when people try v0.dev for the first time. It’s a generative UI tool by Vercel where you just describe what you want and it spits out code. Most people have something running in 15 minutes. That shift—from “I have no idea what I’m doing” to “WAIT, I just built something?”—flips a switch in their head.

For the person reading this with a brilliant idea but paralyzed by tech anxiety, what is the absolute first, no-BS baby step you’d tell them to take right now?

Don’t code. Just talk. Open GPT and brain-dump your idea - messy, chaotic, whatever. Then ask it to structure it into a product spec. Take that and plug it into something like v0. The gap between “idea” and “first build” is WAY smaller than you think.

You're unleashing a whole new breed of creators. Give us an example – what's one of the most unexpected, brilliant, or just plain wild projects that's been built and launched by a Code with AI graduate?

Someone got the WhatsApp API working and built a CRM for their business - DURING the class. API integration is usually seen as advanced, but they pulled it off fast. Blew me away.

Let's get real about the future. Is AI our new co-founder, a tireless intern, or a slightly terrifying evil genius in waiting? Pick one.

To me, it’s a co-founder. Not bc it obeys every command, but bc it co-creates. It helps me move faster, brainstorm better, and go from idea to execution without waiting for permission. I don’t fear it. I jam with it.

And if you want to see this AI wizardry live in action... Sherry and Agrim Singh (co-founder of Niyam AI) are running a live session on Building AI Native Startups. Forget boring slide decks; they’re doing a live demo of building a full-stack app in just 45 minutes. This is your chance to see how the startup playbook is being completely rewritten by AI.

The Details:

  • When: Thursday, June 19, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM

  • Where: Sands Expo & Convention Centre, The Forum (Level 5)

  • Cost: FREE (no ticket required, just show up ready to have your mind blown).

WE GAVE AI AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS: And it made this video 🤖

We couldn't just talk about hacking the system with AI; we had to do it ourselves.

This video is called "Are you comfortable?" and it's a testament to two things: the insane power of AI to bring creative ideas to life instantly, and the simple, undeniable truth that true comfort is its own kind of superpower.

This is our first shot at letting the robots take the creative wheel. Hit the link, watch the glorious (or glorious-ish?) chaos, and let us know what you think.
