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

Get the Vibe Coding 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.An approach in programming, where the programmer generates code purely by AI and copy pastes the results into their program.
Vibe Coding usually takes lesser to no skills in comparison to traditional programming. It has gotten more popular, now that AI LLMs specialized on coding have been taking over the coding-scene.

Joe: Yo, check out my new game that I made.
Bob: Damn, that looks so cool. I didn't know you could code.
Joe: I can't. I just used Claude AI to generate all my code.
Bob: You buffoon. That's just Vibe Coding what you did.

Get the Vibe Coding mug.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.I’ve been vibe coding lately. I don’t understand a thing that’s being generated. I’m just going off vibes.

Get the vibe coding mug.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."
