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."

homebaddie

A person who prefers to stay home rather than going out, but still puts effort into their physical appearance to hang out around the house whether alone or with others, whether that be with hair, makeup, or clothes. Typically wearing a Juicy Couture track suit and Ugg platform fuzzy slippers. A play on the term “homebody.”

She’s not your average IG baddie who wants to go out to the club - she’d rather stay at home and be a homebaddie with me.

DUI-Hire

A term used to describe both:

A hiring decision perceived as impaired or flawed, suggesting that the decision-makers were "under the influence" of biases or external pressures, leading to the selection of an unqualified or controversial candidate.

The individual who has been hired through such a process, implying they may lack the necessary qualifications or have a controversial background.

Pete Hegseth running a Signal chat fiasco where sensitive military plans were inadvertently shared with a journalist, exemplifies a classic DUI-Hire.

bean soup

"bean soup" is in reference to a tiktok video where a creator posted a recipe for bean soup and then received a comment asking, "what if i don't like beans?"

"bean soup", "being bean souped", or "bean souping" is a phenomena in which a user is unable to recognize that not all content is directed towards them. a normal user would realize they don't identify with the content and move on; a bean souper would interact in opposition - and usually unintelligently, too.

op: "here's how i curl my hair with a curling iron."
bean souper: "what do i do if i don't have any hair?"

sure, jan

"Sure, Jan" is used when you can easily read a family or friend for the filthy liar they are. You say it when you obviously know they are lying but you don't want to call them out in front of everyone. Phrase originated from A Very Brady Sequel.

Marcia- "That's funny, I've never heard of a George Glass at our skül"
Jan- "That's because he's a transfer student. He came in the last week of school. He's really good looking and thinks I'm really cool."
Marcia- "Sure, Jan."
