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!
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...
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 more than 800 lines of code, got to this point after just 1h of vibe coding. It is really killing the vibe...
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.
The slow decay of the Developer as a job, where wordcel LLMs are taking over.
My startup won YC69 batch, with vibe coding 99% of the code is generated. What is infosec again ?
creating programs and applications from ai generated slop code, can be done by anyone who knows how to use the internet
This game created by Vibe Coding makes $50,000 a month. Yours probably won’t
