Vibe Coding

Haters gonna hate, but the truth is this "vibe coding" is actually quite powerful. You can jumpstart some serious projects with it, as long as you know what you're doing.

Just don't be like Dave over there who doesn't have an inkling of a plan and expects the AI to do all the heavy lifting. Be like Adam who gives long detailed instructions and blueprints to the AI coding agent. Unlike Dave, Adam is in complete control of his codebase, and will always steer the AI back on track if he finds the output lacking.
Dave: bro why does the AI keep spitting out random code?

Adam: that's because you're using it wrong. It's not going to make you a sandwich if you don't tell it exactly *how* to make it. If you don't know what you're doing then "vibe coding" isn't for you.

Vibe Coded

Code or a project you throw together by telling an AI stuff like “make it sick” or “whip up a cool app.” It’s dope for cranking out ideas quick, letting anyone with a vibe turn it into something real, no coding degree needed. If you’re on point with clear directions, you get a solid base to work with. But if you’re just vibing with no plan, you’ll end up with a janky, bug-filled mess that barely runs.

*Wink* This definition was vibe generated with Grok.
Example 1:
“This vibe coded game looks cool as hell, but ‘make it fun’ left it buggier than a cheap phone.”

Example 2:
“Her vibe coded site’s straight-up fire—clean, works great, ‘cause she told the AI exactly what she wanted.”

Vibe Coded

Dumbasses who think AI is an actually useful tool and not a passing fad who integrate it into their daily life, especially to "code" using some bloated closed source bullshit like VS Code.
These are usually the same apple stans who would suck on Tim Cook's dick 24/7 365.
Idiot "coder": "I just vibe coded a wowzers awesome sauce game in Javascript with ChatGPT and VS Code!"
Vim using minimalist Debian chad: "You didn't code you fucking idiot."
The idiot "coder" proceeds to have an autistic meltdown over the fact that their cock sucking fat asses will never be able to conjure up any sort of intelligence to write actual code.

vibe coding

The art of creating software while doing almost zero actual coding, by completely surrendering to AI tools and just going with the flow. Involves talking to LLMs like Cursor Composer instead of typing code, blindly accepting all suggestions, and copying error messages without reading them.

Characteristics include: letting your codebase grow beyond your comprehension, working around bugs instead of fixing them, asking for random changes until errors disappear, and the complete absence of reading diffs. Perfect for weekend projects where functionality matters more than understanding what the hell is actually happening under the hood.
"Dude, I built an entire e-commerce site yesterday through vibe coding. Just whispered 'make the button blue' into my mic and accepted whatever the AI wrote. No idea how any of it works but it's live lol."

"Why are you actually reading through that function? Just vibe code it, bro. Ask the AI to 'make it faster' and accept all."

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."

vibe coding

When a programmer describes a problem in a few sentences as a prompt to a large language model (LLM) tuned for coding.
Within only 2 hours vibe coding I built this entire app into an unmaintainable AI slop.

vibe coding

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...
