The art of creating software while doing almost zero actual coding, by completely surrendering to AI tools and just going with the flow. Involves talking to LLMs like Cursor Composer instead of typing code, blindly accepting all suggestions, and copying error messages without reading them.
Characteristics include: letting your codebase grow beyond your comprehension, working around bugs instead of fixing them, asking for random changes until errors disappear, and the complete absence of reading diffs. Perfect for weekend projects where functionality matters more than understanding what the hell is actually happening under the hood.

"Dude, I built an entire e-commerce site yesterday through vibe coding. Just whispered 'make the button blue' into my mic and accepted whatever the AI wrote. No idea how any of it works but it's live lol."
"Why are you actually reading through that function? Just vibe code it, bro. Ask the AI to 'make it faster' and accept all."

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
The art of pretending you wrote something when you actually just fed prompts to ChatGPT while nodding pensively at your laptop in Starbucks. Primarily practiced by "content creators" who describe themselves as "thought leaders" despite having never had an original thought.

"Chad finished his 'groundbreaking' LinkedIn article in 15 minutes through vibe writing, then spent two hours crafting a post about how he 'poured his soul' into creating it."
Often involves staring meaningfully into the distance between prompt refinements while wearing unnecessary glasses and performing vigorous yet performative editing on text that an AI wrote for you. Practitioners claim they're "directing the AI's creative energy" the same way someone who orders DoorDash claims they "prepared dinner."

AI refused to write me more than 800 lines of code, got to this point only 1 hour of vibe coding. It is really killing the vibe...
