An AI-dependent programming technique, coined by ex-OpenAI wizard Andrej Karpathy where developers "fully give into the vibes, embrace exponentials and forget that the code even exists".
In other words, it's where random non-technical monkeys with little to no programming language, dish out sloppy games and other software through blindly copy-pasting AI generated code from LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to make fast and easy money.
This can lead to unprotected APIs or endpoints, lack of input validation, weak/no encryption etc and potentially even result in the final product being taken down permanently and the guy will have to beg for his job back at Popeyes.

Example 1:
Person 1: Hey! I've been vibe coding this new game, can't wait to make so much money
Person 2: I've watched Fireship's video. Hope you use the RETARD tech stack (React, Express, Tailwind, Redis, Deno)
Example 1:
Person 1: Hey! I've finished vibe-coding my new application through the Cursor IDE
Person 2: Can't wait to bypass your subscription, max out API key usage and create random shit on the DB

Term that tends to make other sick, used by wannabe programmers who misuse AI to produce unfathomable things they call code which works only on a good day.
Oh, looks like my random text generator produced something that looks like code, I don't know where I am or what am I even doing, I guess I must be vibe coding!

creating programs and applications from ai generated slop code, can be done by anyone who knows how to use the internet

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!

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

The act of using Ai tools and IDEs like Cursor or Claude to write code, with little human input. Just coding for the vibes brah.
Vibe coding is used to push out terrible Apps and Games at a fast pace with little human effort and time.

"Vibe coding", no errors just vibes.
