In the age of AI 'vibe coding' tools being embrace by the software developer community; founders, CEOs, clients, product managers & producers have whole heartedly embrassed 'Vibe Scoping' at scale.
The subtly art of documenting nothing, making shit up & drowning the project team in a high frequency, flurry of emails mid project; thus parcing it off as part of the original project scope & sneaking it into the product back log at no cost. Causing the project team to implode as they all attempt to throw each other under the bus.
A long lost cousin to love boming, can also be called 'scope bombing'. Can apply to a range of industries including construction. These are all red flags.

SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
Dev A (jnr dev) "Ken's just sent me an email full of new product features, it makes no sens. What do I do?"
Dev B (snr dev) "Oh, he's just making shit up. He's trying the ole vibe scoping mind trick on you. Pull out the scope doc as the source of truth & add it to the next phase. The PMs can cost it in & raise an invoice."
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Builder A "What do I do, the clients rattled of a range of random things for us to build. They want a lazy suzan and broiler in the middle of the spa bath? It's not in any of our plans, I think he is vibe scoping again"
Builer B 'Allg lad, we'll get the boss to vibe invoice them. We'll celebrate with that imported beer at arvo knock offs & send a note to his parole officer."

-Example2 -from one friend to another-
" Listen, Sarah, you don't understand! That guy, gave me the ick! And, he was a straight up vibe terrorist when he changed the conversation to talking about fish. I hate fishing, Sarah!"
