Haters gonna hate, but the truth is this "vibe coding" is actually quite powerful. You can jumpstart some serious projects with it, as long as you know what you're doing.
Just don't be like Dave over there who doesn't have an inkling of a plan and expects the AI to do all the heavy lifting. Be like Adam who gives long detailed instructions and blueprints to the AI coding agent. Unlike Dave, Adam is in complete control of his codebase, and will always steer the AI back on track if he finds the output lacking.

Dave: bro why does the AI keep spitting out random code?
Adam: that's because you're using it wrong. It's not going to make you a sandwich if you don't tell it exactly *how* to make it. If you don't know what you're doing then "vibe coding" isn't for you.

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!

Letting an AI agent make all the decisions about implementation and code execution given a light description of intent from a user.
AI refused to write more than 800 lines of code, got to this point after just 1h of vibe coding. It is really killing the vibe...

It's when you are too lazy to write the code yourself and use slaves (AI tools) to do the hard work for you

The act of using Ai tools and IDEs like Cursor or Claude to write code, with little human input. Just coding for the vibes brah.
Vibe coding is used to push out terrible Apps and Games at a fast pace with little human effort and time.

We taught this chimpanzee how to do vibe coding. You won't believe what happened next: He hung himself!
