When you give the wheel to someone less qualified than Jesus to solve your engineering and software quandaries: Generative AI
We taught this chimpanzee how to do vibe coding. You won't believe what happened next: He hung himself!

Get the vibe codingmug. 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...

Get the vibe codingmug. The art of creating software while doing almost zero actual coding, by completely surrendering to AI tools and just going with the flow. Involves talking to LLMs like Cursor Composer instead of typing code, blindly accepting all suggestions, and copying error messages without reading them.
Characteristics include: letting your codebase grow beyond your comprehension, working around bugs instead of fixing them, asking for random changes until errors disappear, and the complete absence of reading diffs. Perfect for weekend projects where functionality matters more than understanding what the hell is actually happening under the hood.

"Dude, I built an entire e-commerce site yesterday through vibe coding. Just whispered 'make the button blue' into my mic and accepted whatever the AI wrote. No idea how any of it works but it's live lol."
"Why are you actually reading through that function? Just vibe code it, bro. Ask the AI to 'make it faster' and accept all."

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."

Get the Vibe Codingmug. (noun / verb)
When a programmer codes purely based on intuition, mood, or spontaneous inspiration rather than following strict plans or detailed requirements. Often involves listening to good music, being in the zone, and creating elegant or experimental code just because it feels right.

“Dude, it's 3 AM, you're still up?” “Yeah man, I'm vibe coding—just refactoring and seeing where the night takes me.”

Get the vibe codingmug. Code or a project you throw together by telling an AI stuff like “make it sick” or “whip up a cool app.” It’s dope for cranking out ideas quick, letting anyone with a vibe turn it into something real, no coding degree needed. If you’re on point with clear directions, you get a solid base to work with. But if you’re just vibing with no plan, you’ll end up with a janky, bug-filled mess that barely runs.

Example 1:
“This vibe coded game looks cool as hell, but ‘make it fun’ left it buggier than a cheap phone.”
Example 2:
“Her vibe coded site’s straight-up fire—clean, works great, ‘cause she told the AI exactly what she wanted.”
