Vibe

A state of focused, creative flow achieved through collaboration with artificial intelligence — especially large language models like ChatGPT. A vibe isn’t just a feeling; it’s a working rhythm, a synergy between human intention and machine intelligence where productivity feels effortless and ideas come naturally.

This isn’t traditional work. This is the new workflow — assisted, accelerated, and attuned.

Origin:
Evolved from “vibe coding,” a term popularized by developers to describe writing code fluidly with the help of AI. Vibe has since grown to describe the broader phenomenon of AI-assisted creativity across writing, design, planning, research, and more.

“That wasn’t work — that was a full-on vibe with ChatGPT.”
“I found the vibe and just ran with it — knocked out the whole proposal.”
“She’s not typing aimlessly. She’s vibing.”
“I vibed it in like 30 minutes.”

vibe backtesting

A casual approach to testing quant trading strategies using good-enough data, AI-generated code snippets, and gut feel for alpha. Less CFA rigor, more “let’s plug it into ChatGPT and see what 15-minute candles say.” Used early on to vibe-check ideas without investing in robust infrastructure or precise modeling.

Crypto Bro: “Yo I got this strategy that longs ETH whenever gas fees drop below median levels.”
Startup Quant: “Nice. You test it?”
Crypto Bro: “Yeah, did a little vibe backtesting on it — used some synthetic data and GPT to throw together a pandas loop. Looks promising.”
