After vibe coding: how do you take your product to the next phase?

As a data engineer who has little experience in full-stack software development, I’ve been experimenting with vibe coding tools to move fast in the early stages.

My flow looked like this:

• Prototyped the main UI in V0 (after 300+ iterations/conversations back and forth)

• Added backend with Supabase for auth, storage, and DB

• Moved from Replit → V0 → now AI coding IDEs (Trae, Cursor) to push into full-stack territory

Vibe coding is great for speed and validation, but it has so many limits.

At some point, you hit that wall where you need real engineering depth, or risk staying in “prototype land” forever. If you barely have any development experience, it's hard for you to really scale your product to the market, or have 'serious' users (maybe enterprise users) commit to your product.

I know for some founders who come from totally non-technical background, AI coding IDEs are already a 'No'.

So I’m wondering:

• How do you make the leap from prototype to production when you start with vibe/no-code tools?

• For non-technical founders, what’s the smartest path to avoid being stuck at this stage?

Would love to hear how other founders navigated this inflection point.
