"Startups can’t scale without developers." — GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke At VivaTech, Thomas Dohmke offered a reality check for non-technical founders riding the no-code/AI wave: > “AI coding assistants can help you get started. But to scale? You still need real developers.” With the rise of "vibe coding" — building apps with prompts and minimal code — launching has never been easier. But that ease comes with a cost: sameness. Dohmke raised the key question investors are now asking: “Why should I fund your AI-built product when there are 10 others just like it?” The advantage isn’t in using AI. It’s in knowing what to build, how to scale it, and why it matters. > “Using prompts for things you already know how to do? That’s just busywork.” AI is a force multiplier — but only if you're multiplying real skill, insight, and execution. It’s time to stop treating AI like a shortcut. Start treating it like a tool that amplifies what you bring to the table.
