Stocks are another matter. There were wonder "algorithms" even before "AI". I helped some friends tweak some. They had the enthusiasm and I had the programming expertise and I was curious.
That was a couple years ago. None of them is rich and retired now - which was what the test runs were showing - and I think most aren't even trading any more.
I vibe coded a few ideas i had in my mind for a while. My basic stack is html, single page, local storage and lightweight js.
It is really good in doing this.
those ideas are like UI experiments or small tools helping me doing stuff.
Its also super great in ELI5'ing anything
Same result if you copied and pasted from a couple passionate blogs.
Not in the same timeframe. My experiments take an hour.
