As a counterexample, there's someone who vibe-coded a subscription adult website complete with payments and stuff, while having zero computer science experience while living in an RV. I can't find the link now, although last I saw on X, she was complaining about being blocked by trad finance after Bill Ackman's campaign.

So yeah, it's absolutely possible. From personal experience, I was able to implement a basic scan and go application complete with payment integrations without going through a single piece of documentation.

As long as you're ready to jostle for a bit in frustration with an AI, you can make something monetizable once you've identified an underserved market.
