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

Get the Vibe Coding mug.A specific title given to someone (or something) that changes the mood of a event or gathering in a bad way. Common occurrences of a Vibe Terrorist typically include paraphrasing or referencing something at an inappropriate time. Vibe Terrorist's can also target one individual within a group of people to feel unsettled.
Be advised, not all people with this title are aware they have received it, you must earn this title.
For example:
-Tim Knox and Brad Knox are at their parents funeral after getting in a car crash with many friends and other family around at the wake. Everyone is quietly in morning.-
Tim: "I cant believe our parents are gone..."
Brad: "I know. At least they went out with a bop."
Tim: "What?"
Brad: "Oh you know!" *singing and slightly bobbing his head* "~California girls We're unforgettable! Daisy Dukes Bikinis on top! "
Family members: (various whispers of guests) "Oh my gosh that's vile...What is he doing?"
Tim: "What the fuck Brad?!"
Grandma Knox: (whispers to a friend) "What a freaking Vibe Terrorist..."
Final Example:
-An old man living in the country is alone fishing on a peaceful river with a busted radio-
The radio: *Huck turned on the radio and hears a light humming for about a minute before it goes quiet. For the next few hours there is silence, until a sudden and loud sound of static comes out of the radio, which scares Huck*
Huck: "AHHHH FU-HUGH! YOU! *Huck grabs the radio and throws it into the river in anger* AND STAY THERE!...*Whispers to himself* Dammed radio, Messing my mood up, fucking vibe terrorist stupid- liberal- pansy- stupid shit right there...Imma keep fishing, that's what I'll do. *Now yelling* THAT'S WHAT ILL DO!"

Get the Vibe Terrorist mug.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!

Get the Vibe coding mug.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.”

Get the vibe backtesting mug.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."
