vibe coding

Vibe coding is the practice of relying heavily, even exclusively, on AI generated code for a programming project. Programming on vibes alone, as expressed to the AI in natural language. Term coined by Andrej Karpathy in an X post on Feb 2, 2025.

code spaghetti

A less common nearly synonymous expression of "spaghetti code": in programming and computer language, a poorly programmed piece of code, which does barely work, but it's very long and convoluted (like the pasta itself) and thus hard to disentangle and debug. (This variant expression could also refer to the effects of said code.)
The devs removed that feature because it was pure bloat. Nobody really used it and it was causing all kinds of code spaghetti. {This is an adapted snippet from an actual email message!}

hobo code

Alternative words or phrases used by content creators to avoid having their accounts deleted from big tech platforms. A form of self censorship. Originally, signs or symbols left around towns or in the countryside by hobos to send messages or warnings to other hobos.
In order to avoid the censorship algorithm I had to speak in hobo code.

back to coding

The last thing Dream said in his iconic Detective Dream stream, where he goes over drama involving Tommyinnit, Ludwig, and many more. Streamers and other creators have started using this as a way of ending stream and saying goodbye, because it is really cringe.
Tommyinnit: But that's all from me. Anyways, back to coding.
