This guy vibe-coded a $50,000 health application for around $700. 230,000 lines of code written by a physiology student using the Emergent platform. No development team. No VC money. His name is Tristan Siokos, and his application tracks 18+ health variables for users, including nutrition, pain, exercise, sleep, and anxiety, and then surfaces patterns and connects patients to clinicians. The fact that somebody, with no development experience, can vibe-code a complete application and business in a few days is absolutely bonkers. This was impossible a year ago, but is now the new status quo. Today, you only need 2 things to build something: 1. An idea (and it doesn't even need to be unique) 2. The willingness and grit to spend the time building it It's impossible to become financially independent unless you build something that's yours. Building software is an amazing way to do that. If you don't know what to code, Emergent is offering a $5 plan for the holidays. You can build anything you want using the platform. Thanks to the Emergent team for their offer and their collaboration on this post.
