vibe coding

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."

Giddy On Their Vibe

When someone else’s energy or an interaction with someone leaves you feeling charged, stirred, or excited; an appreciation after you walk away from an exchange that something unique, special, or affecting has taken place

Vibe Check

Once vibe checked it is strictly important to vibe in any way, shape or form. Failure to provide a vibe will result in failing a vibe check. Which in turn removes your gene pool out of existence
Person1: Vibe check
Person2: *fails*
Person1: Your free trial of living has ended

Vibe coding

When you try to get AI to do the coding for you with prompt engineering and find out it takes more work to use the prompt than to actually do the work yourself.
