Vibe Coding

/vaɪb ˈkoʊdɪŋ/

Definition

Building software by describing your intent to an AI in natural language and accepting the output by "feel" rather than scrutinizing every line of code.

Examples

  • I vibe-coded the whole prototype in a day with ChatGPT.
  • Vibe coding is fast, but production code still needs proper review.

Origin

Popularized in developer communities starting in 2024.

Represents a paradigm shift in how developers work with AI. It prioritizes shipping a working system fast over perfect code.

It shines in a few situations:

  • Prototyping: validate an idea in a day
  • Repetitive work: hand boilerplate to the AI
  • Learning: explore an unfamiliar framework quickly

For production, always verify with code review and tests. A related idea is prompt engineering.
