What if you could build software by describing what you want to create, instead of spending years learning how it needs to be technically coded?
We are in the midst of a technological shift. Those who learn to leverage AI tools early will have a significant competitive advantage.
In the 90s, computer literacy set you apart from the crowd. In the 2000s, it was knowledge of Google, SEO, and digital presence. In the 2010s, it was social media and content marketing. Today, it’s the ability to work productively with AI – to build, automate, and innovate with AI tools.
When you vibecoder, you use generative AI as your programming partner to build apps, tools, and new solutions. Instead of writing line by line of code, you describe the desired function and result – and let the AI take care of much of the technical groundwork.
Vibecoding gives you a quick and practical method to test ideas, build prototypes, and showcase solutions to decision-makers – without spending a lot of time and money on development costs.
Vibecoding makes it possible to:
- Quickly go from idea to testable solution – hours instead of months
- Explore new concepts without large technical investments or budgets
- Collaborate better across roles, disciplines and technical levels
- Learn how AI is actually used in practical development work, not just in theory
Vibecoding makes this expertise available to you – without having to spend years learning programming. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need a technical background. You just need to learn a methodology where you think systemically and communicate clearly with the AI.
Vibelabs and Simon Souyris Strumse hold courses at BIT
To provide a good and structured introduction to vibecoding, Vibelabs is organizing two courses at Aggrator at the BIT Innovation Center in Ås.
Vibecoding is a practical skill that is developed over time, through testing, experimentation and learning by doing. That's why all participants will also receive an invitation to free vibecoding meetups on May 28th and September 8th, where you can continue to develop your skills.
Vibecoding Level 1 – build without coding
March 12, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
This course gives you a practical introduction to vibecoding. You'll learn how to take an idea from concept to working prototype in one day - without being a developer. The focus is on creative exploration, learning, and understanding the possibilities of the technology.
Perfect for: Entrepreneurs, business leaders, consultants, product owners, and business developers who want to understand and leverage AI tools practically.

Vibecoding Level 2 – more powerful solutions in the terminal
May 12, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Level 2 takes the next step, into the terminal and more professional developer workflows. Here you work with Claude Code and learn how AI can be used directly at the command line to build, debug, and further develop projects.
Perfect for: Those who have basic skills in place and want to take vibecoding to the next level.

Course leader Simon Souyris Strumse
Shifter has described Simon as the entrepreneur who is turning the development world upside down with so-called “vibecoding”. Simon is a serial entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience in product development and entrepreneurship. He is one of the pioneers of vibecoding in Norway and is behind the country’s most popular course in collaboration with Shifter. Simon bridges the gap between idea and technical implementation, and has a strong pedagogical ability to develop competence internally in organizations.
Useful to be aware of
Ultimately, vibecoding can turn a vague idea into a working prototype – whether it’s a website, a game, or a simple tool – but it alone can’t make the solution reliable, secure, or robust. Such qualities still require established tools and practices, such as structured databases, access control, authentication, and thorough testing.
This does not mean that vibecoding is irrelevant for more serious development. On the contrary, it can be a very useful starting point, as long as it is used consciously and with an understanding of its limitations. AI-assisted development is becoming increasingly capable, and both development tools and platforms are increasingly integrating AI to lower the threshold for building software. The result is that the cost of developing digital solutions is dramatically reduced, and more people can participate in technology development than ever before.
This development is not temporary. It will continue to change how software is built, who can build it – and how organizations must adapt to a new technological reality.
