A fuck vibe is a noun similar to a red flag, but instead of describing an issue, it’s describing the energy of the issue.
Deriving from “bad fucking vibe”, a fuck vibe can be used to describe someone who has a weird energy to them without any discernible reason, or a situation that is very awkward or tense.
If it’s used to describe how someone feels, it’s like having a bad feeling about something, or feeling disgusted.
Please note: the context is important, saying someone has a fuck vibe can mean 2 different things.

vibe-coding /vīb-kō-diNG/
noun
A programming methodology in which developers with Computer Science degrees outsource their jobs to AI while charging clients $200/hour for their "expertise." It involves typing vague descriptions into GitHub Copilot and then debugging the resulting code while pretending you understood what was happening all along. Karpath was right - coding using jazz method is instant FLOW.

"Dave spent three weeks vibe coding a basic inventory app, which is impressive considering it would have taken him two days if he'd just written it himself."
Most commonly observed in open-plan offices where practitioners dramatically frown at error messages they don't understand before asking the AI to fix its own mistakes. Success is measured not by code quality but by how convincingly one can explain in meetings that the obscure bugs were "interesting edge cases" rather than "I have no idea what this code actually does."

(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.
