To have such uncertain and malicious vibes one would consider to be douchy or vile, such as the name Greg.

When your listening to a song and the beat stops and then goes on again
And your still Vibing all the way through

Bob: "Cara is a real bitch"
Jack: "No you're just annoyed because her mega titty vibes shows up your small dick energy. Man up, son."

Jane: "You hear Ruth Bader Ginsburg died?"
Bob: "No way! :( RBG had some real MTV..."

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."

The layman's gateway into the world of software development.
The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, presumably influenced by similar Gen Z-esque terms such as 'Vibecession', where 'vibe' presumably refers to the fact you can code based on how you feel, rather than what you know.
While LLMs have always assisted people with coding, it is largely thanks to the introduction of AI-powered IDEs such as VSCode, Cursor.sh and Windsurf that have made vibe coding into a real thing. These IDEs feature an AI agent that will pretty much build your entire project for you. Because of this, anyone, even an 8 year-old kid, can have the means to create sophisticated software.
While vibe coding is here to stay, it certainly has no place in enterprise environments. Think of it like this: vibe coding is like shooting in auto mode on your DSLR, as opposed to manual mode. It might take some good photos, but to rely on it for professional work is like opening pandora's box. Even for individual projects, it is better to first understand the basics and best practices of coding, and then rely on vibe coding. That way you can independently evaluate the quality/relevance of the code being generated.

Example 1: Most startup businesses these days heavily rely on vibe coding to launch their first SaaS. (not recommended tho)
Example 2: Julian, an 8-year old boy, vibe coded his own J.A.R.V.I.S. assistant as an homage to his favorite superhero.
Example 3: "Bro did you hear? Alex vibe coded his way into a systems integration engineering career." ... "Yikes."

A mind virus phenomenon coined by renowned AI researcher Andrej Karpathy that describes relying on AI like ChatGPT and other large language models to generate code based on user descriptions and prompts. Oftentimes the desired outcome of the prompt is desired vs the actual lines of code themselves.
One could argue that it's great for proof of concepting work, but terrible for deploying to production.

Non Technical Crypto Bro: Yo check out this new SaaS product that transacts b2b payments that I built while vibe coding with ChatGPT!
Software engineer: Super neat! What approach did you use to prevent Denial of Wallet attacks and what service did you use to secure your API keys?
Non Technical Crypto Bro: WTF are you even talking about? Who gives a shit! Look at my amazing product!

It's when you are too lazy to write the code yourself and use slaves (AI tools) to do the hard work for you
