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 Code fogal mug.A dress code is an authoritarian rule often enforced by, mostly, schools. Often supported by the two party elite, there is a growing movement(as of 2021) to repeal all dress codes in schools and elsewhere.
Although some religious groups might support these, efforts to introduce or even make dress codes more stricter are often sexist towards females, who make up about half of the libertarian population.
