Writing barely functioning code with no hope of maintaining or understanding it using AI — a technique mostly used by tech bros who lost all their money on NFTs and are now trying to be relevant again.
Tyler just finished vibe coding an app, and now I have to fix his unreadable lines of stinking shit masquerading as functional code.

Get the Vibe Coding mug.Code Brown happens when a husband returns to the bed, from the bathroom, having diarrhea and does not realize he has left his underwear off. Once in the bed and his tail pointing towards his sleeping wife, he thinks he needs to fart. Half asleep his releases projectile diarrhea all over his wife, the bed and walls. He wife awakens screaming and gagging. Based on a true story
Her husband upon returning to the bed released an Code Brown all over her and the bed with a foul stench.

Get the Code Brown mug.A mind virus phenomenon coined by renowned AI researcher Andrej Karpathy that describes relying on AI like ChatGPT and other large language models to generate code based on user descriptions and prompts. Oftentimes the desired outcome of the prompt is desired vs the actual lines of code themselves.
One could argue that it's great for proof of concepting work, but terrible for deploying to production.

Non Technical Crypto Bro: Yo check out this new SaaS product that transacts b2b payments that I built while vibe coding with ChatGPT!
Software engineer: Super neat! What approach did you use to prevent Denial of Wallet attacks and what service did you use to secure your API keys?
Non Technical Crypto Bro: WTF are you even talking about? Who gives a shit! Look at my amazing product!

Get the Vibe coding mug.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."
