An AI-dependent programming technique, coined by ex-OpenAI wizard Andrej Karpathy where developers "fully give into the vibes, embrace exponentials and forget that the code even exists".
In other words, it's where random non-technical monkeys with little to no programming language, dish out sloppy games and other software through blindly copy-pasting AI generated code from LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to make fast and easy money.
This can lead to unprotected APIs or endpoints, lack of input validation, weak/no encryption etc and potentially even result in the final product being taken down permanently and the guy will have to beg for his job back at Popeyes.

Example 1:
Person 1: Hey! I've been vibe coding this new game, can't wait to make so much money
Person 2: I've watched Fireship's video. Hope you use the RETARD tech stack (React, Express, Tailwind, Redis, Deno)
Example 1:
Person 1: Hey! I've finished vibe-coding my new application through the Cursor IDE
Person 2: Can't wait to bypass your subscription, max out API key usage and create random shit on the DB

Get the Vibe codingmug. Vibe Coding (noun)
The art of throwing a half-baked idea at an AI like you're ordering a pizza, then sitting back while it spits out a fully functional app or script. Basically, you vibe out a description of what you want, and the AI does all the heavy lifting—coding, debugging, and probably making you look smarter than you actually are. No CS degree required, just a solid imagination and the ability to type "make it work" into a chatbot. Coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, vibe coding is the lazy coder's dream and the purist programmer's nightmare. Perfect for when you want to flex on your friends with a new app but don’t wanna spend hours Googling syntax errors.

"Bro, I was vibe coding a whole Spotify playlist generator last night. All I said was 'make me something cool,' and the AI did the rest. I’m basically a tech genius now."

Get the Barnyard vibesmug. Term that tends to make other sick, used by wannabe programmers who misuse AI to produce unfathomable things they call code which works only on a good day.
Oh, looks like my random text generator produced something that looks like code, I don't know where I am or what am I even doing, I guess I must be vibe coding!
