Letting an AI agent make all the decisions about implementation and code execution given a light description of intent from a user
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...

Writing barely functioning code with no hope of maintaining or understanding it using AI — a technique mostly used by tech bros who lost all their money on NFTs and are now trying to be relevant again.
Tyler just finished vibe coding an app, and now I have to fix his unreadable lines of stinking shit masquerading as functional code.

I’ve been vibe coding lately. I don’t understand a thing that’s being generated. I’m just going off vibes.

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.

"Why did you drop out of your Computer Science degree?"
"We don't need to code anymore man, vibe coding is where it's at."

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!
