Vibe Coding (noun)
The art of throwing a half-baked idea at an AI like you're ordering a pizza, then sitting back while it spits out a fully functional app or script. Basically, you vibe out a description of what you want, and the AI does all the heavy lifting—coding, debugging, and probably making you look smarter than you actually are. No CS degree required, just a solid imagination and the ability to type "make it work" into a chatbot. Coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, vibe coding is the lazy coder's dream and the purist programmer's nightmare. Perfect for when you want to flex on your friends with a new app but don’t wanna spend hours Googling syntax errors.
"Bro, I was vibe coding a whole Spotify playlist generator last night. All I said was 'make me something cool,' and the AI did the rest. I’m basically a tech genius now."
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.
