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."

Pyrite code is what occurs when a finished program is subjected to constant tinkering and updates, resulting in frequent glitches and bugs. The term stems from gold code, which is what programmers call a finished program, minus any patches or fully-formed updates; the code is golden. Pyrite is also known as fool's code.
