An interruption of a state of mind, can be unintentional or intentionally deliberate, but must usurp dominance over the mood or setting of a peaceful environment.
Example 1- from one friend to another-
"Hey John, I was listening to that new song you sent me the other day in my car, but my phone died halfway through the Good part, Straight up vibe terrorism man..."
-Example2 -from one friend to another-
" Listen, Sarah, you don't understand! That guy, gave me the ick! And, he was a straight up vibe terrorist when he changed the conversation to talking about fish. I hate fishing, Sarah!"

The unconscious or conscious act of subverting, attacking, or completely destroying a previously established vibe.
*Person A and Person B are listening to music.*
Person A: Y'know, all Chef Bergens had to do was catch two or four trolls for breeding instead of culling the remaining populace and rendering the delicacy extinct.
Person B: *taken aback* Straight-up, outta nowhere Vibe Terrorism.

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."

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.

The layman's gateway into the world of software development.
The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, presumably influenced by similar Gen Z-esque terms such as 'Vibecession', where 'vibe' presumably refers to the fact you can code based on how you feel, rather than what you know.
While LLMs have always assisted people with coding, it is largely thanks to the introduction of AI-powered IDEs such as VSCode, Cursor.sh and Windsurf that have made vibe coding into a real thing. These IDEs feature an AI agent that will pretty much build your entire project for you. Because of this, anyone, even an 8 year-old kid, can have the means to create sophisticated software.
While vibe coding is here to stay, it certainly has no place in enterprise environments. Think of it like this: vibe coding is like shooting in auto mode on your DSLR, as opposed to manual mode. It might take some good photos, but to rely on it for professional work is like opening pandora's box. Even for individual projects, it is better to first understand the basics and best practices of coding, and then rely on vibe coding. That way you can independently evaluate the quality/relevance of the code being generated.

Example 1: Most startup businesses these days heavily rely on vibe coding to launch their first SaaS. (not recommended tho)
Example 2: Julian, an 8-year old boy, vibe coded his own J.A.R.V.I.S. assistant as an homage to his favorite superhero.
Example 3: "Bro did you hear? Alex vibe coded his way into a systems integration engineering career." ... "Yikes."
