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.
My cousin has spent the past week doing nothing but vibe coding trying to write an app to make him rich day trading on the Canadian stock market but all he has done so far is accidently give a social media hacker access to his porn and credit cards folder

When you open up ChatGPT, whisper "do it for me please" into the void, and pretend you're a developer while the AI does 110% of the work. You have no idea what’s happening, but you’re nodding like a proud parent watching their kid win a science fair they didn’t even enter.

"Bro look at this cool app I just built in like 5 minutes vibe coding."

When you try to get AI to do the coding for you with prompt engineering and find out it takes more work to use the prompt than to actually do the work yourself.

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!

AI refused to write me more than 800 lines of code, got to this point only 1 hour of vibe coding. It is really killing the vibe...
