"I saw this TikTok that accurately described me and then I looked at the #autism tag. I guess I am kinda a-coded."

Get the chubby codemug. Used by non-interpreter languuage develpoers when they need a break.
I'll get some snacks since my code is compiling.
Let my take a breathb outside while my code is compiling.

Get the my code is compilingmug. 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."

Get the code name 'ABALEGO'mug. When you're in a hurry to solve a programming problem, and your solution results in a shittiest-rushed-even-yo-mama-would-be-embarrassed-of-you-algorithm, but it get the damn job done.
I was solving day 3 of the Advent of Code, and I hate coded the worst fucking solution! I'm not proud of it, but it worked.

Get the hate codedmug. 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."
