Vibe Coding (noun)
The art of throwing a half-baked idea at an AI like you're ordering a pizza, then sitting back while it spits out a fully functional app or script. Basically, you vibe out a description of what you want, and the AI does all the heavy lifting—coding, debugging, and probably making you look smarter than you actually are. No CS degree required, just a solid imagination and the ability to type "make it work" into a chatbot. Coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, vibe coding is the lazy coder's dream and the purist programmer's nightmare. Perfect for when you want to flex on your friends with a new app but don’t wanna spend hours Googling syntax errors.

"Bro, I was vibe coding a whole Spotify playlist generator last night. All I said was 'make me something cool,' and the AI did the rest. I’m basically a tech genius now."

In other words, it's where random non-technical monkeys with little to no programming language, dish out sloppy games and other software through blindly copy-pasting AI generated code from LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to make fast and easy money.
This can lead to unprotected APIs or endpoints, lack of input validation, weak/no encryption etc and potentially even result in the final product being taken down permanently and the guy will have to beg for his job back at Popeyes.
