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."

1. Don't ever go after your friend's ex. This rule is so well known, yet broken so often and is the reason most friendships unfortunately end. You're supposed to hate her ex, not date her ex.
2. If your friend tells you something in confidence, it is your job to not go blabbing it out to the entire world.
3. No matter how close you are with a girl, if you are out and see this girl is too intoxicated and can't control herself, and is alone, you make it your job to get her water and keep her safe. You would want someone to do the same if you were in this position.
4. If a girl needs a tampon and you have a tampon—help her out. We all know how that situation feels.
5. If your friend asks how her outfit/hair/makeup etc. looks, BE HONEST. If your friend goes to you wearing bright blue eyeshadow, I would save her the embarrassment of going out and mortifying herself by telling her to maybe tone it down a little.
IF ANY GUY IS READING THIS YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED. Unless you’re extremely attractive.

Get the Girl Codemug. When the woman rides a man and goes up twice saying "Up, Up", goes backwards twice saying "Down, Down", shakes left to right twice ssaying "Left, Right, Left, Right", then moves both of his balls while saying "B" then "A", then both as she bounces saying "Start".
She demonstrated Konami Coding to him by riding him as if he was her own personal Bandai Namco joystick.

Get the Code 15mug. Dumbasses who think AI is an actually useful tool and not a passing fad who integrate it into their daily life, especially to "code" using some bloated closed source bullshit like VS Code.
These are usually the same apple stans who would suck on Tim Cook's dick 24/7 365.

Idiot "coder": "I just vibe coded a wowzers awesome sauce game in Javascript with ChatGPT and VS Code!"
Vim using minimalist Debian chad: "You didn't code you fucking idiot."
The idiot "coder" proceeds to have an autistic meltdown over the fact that their cock sucking fat asses will never be able to conjure up any sort of intelligence to write actual code.

Get the Vibe Codedmug. A simplistic one-size-fits-all movie censorship system that categorizes films only as "All Ages" or "Banned" similar to the one valid in mainland China, lacking a nuanced approach like age ratings to flag the age suitability of certain movies for specific audiences.
With the Hays Code in effect, it’s no suprising that there's no chimichanga for the movie Deadpool in mainland China — there's no middle ground for such movies that pushes boundaries!
