vibe coding

(noun / verb)

When a programmer codes purely based on intuition, mood, or spontaneous inspiration rather than following strict plans or detailed requirements. Often involves listening to good music, being in the zone, and creating elegant or experimental code just because it feels right.
“Dude, it's 3 AM, you're still up?” “Yeah man, I'm vibe coding—just refactoring and seeing where the night takes me.”
