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.

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.
