Vibe Coding

vibe-coding /vīb-kō-diNG/
noun
A programming methodology in which developers with Computer Science degrees outsource their jobs to AI while charging clients $200/hour for their "expertise." It involves typing vague descriptions into GitHub Copilot and then debugging the resulting code while pretending you understood what was happening all along. Karpath was right - coding using jazz method is instant FLOW.
"Dave spent three weeks vibe coding a basic inventory app, which is impressive considering it would have taken him two days if he'd just written it himself."
Most commonly observed in open-plan offices where practitioners dramatically frown at error messages they don't understand before asking the AI to fix its own mistakes. Success is measured not by code quality but by how convincingly one can explain in meetings that the obscure bugs were "interesting edge cases" rather than "I have no idea what this code actually does."

Code 8

Great show! Part 2 just came out on Netflix and is also great.
Hym "I haven't even finished watching it yet but the best scene in Code 8 part 2 is when they're trying to erase the girl's memories... And the super strength chick has has the main character up against the wall and the fire guy is BURNING THE AIR IN FROM OF THE MC'S FACE SO HE CAN'T YELL (Which is fucking brilliant he's like smothering him with proximal fire and it's fucking metal) and the MC gets loose a little bit from the super strength chick and shoves the fire guy's up so he can breath and the fire guy sets off the sprinkler system on the ceiling... The main character has electricity powers... And it goes into to slow-motion as they all kind of realize what what just happened... And it's got the guy from the CW Arrow in it, right? And he gives the MC this look like 'Oh no...' and then he shakes he head a litle bit like 'Don't... Don't fucking electrocute everybody.' And yeah, no, electrocutes the shit out of everybody but it was cool. That was a good scene. This is a good movie."

Vibe Coding

Describes a type of practice where someone utilizes AI assistant tools and premade script templates to write code. Usually they do not understand the code or know how to read it, but use a guess and check method to attempt to achieve their desired results. Older internet denizens might have called this type of person a 'script kiddie'. While there are many people who enjoy this as a hobby and professionally, it is often used for nefarious means and can be risky.

Code rainbow

An airliner terminology, particularly used by mobbed or disrespected check-in agents, by some retarded passengers.

When the situation escalates to this point, the agent has no other choice but to redirect the passengers luggage to Easter island or some remote airport with two flights a month.

This has been used in several European airports after repeated assault and aggressive behavior towards professional airline staff.

In some extreme situations we also developed code RAMBO. Please check and like
Pax screams at agent : why don’t you do your fucking job nigger ??

Agents says: we have a code Rainbow !

Source Code big

A term inspired by Ben Ripley's film "The Source Code." This term is used to describe something very mind-blowing and life-changing that can change a person's way of thinking forever. Also used to describe something that makes a person's mind "click" and allows them to understand so much more than they did before.
