Its a strawman made up by copyright crusaders, to belittle people who use new technology.

Prompt an LLM to write a bit of code that does something. Do this 9000 times until it spits out something that vaguely accomplishes this task. You can't push any of the fever dream nonsense it created into the main branch until you check it thoroughly. In the end you spend more time with this process than you would have if you'd just written it yourself.
The C suite and the board members continue jerking each other off as they call this "efficiency."

"Our AI security reviews 20,000 configurations every hour. Your money is safer than - shit. Well, nevermind. There's no money left. Excuse me, I need to leave the country."
We replaces our entire app with an AI agent, so it can never get hacked!
Oh wait, people just ask it to roll play they are the bank owner and need funds from other accounts?
Who could have possibly predicted something like this? Sam said this AGI was flawless

Have you tried asking Copilot what it is?
"Vibe coding" is an informal term, mostly used in online programming communities, that refers to writing code in a relaxed, intuitive, or improvisational way rather than following a strict plan or methodology.
It’s often associated with:
Experimentation → typing out ideas, running them quickly, and adjusting on the fly.
Flow state → coding while listening to music, late at night, or just for fun without rigid structure.
Prioritizing creativity over rules → not worrying too much about best practices, efficiency, or readability at first—just "feeling out" the solution.
Playfulness → sometimes it means coding with minimal context, like making something cool without knowing exactly how it’ll end up.
Some people use “vibe coding” positively (as in getting into the zone and letting intuition guide you), while others use it humorously or critically (as in writing spaghetti code without much forethought).
Would you like me to give you some examples of how vibe coding looks in practice—like snippets that show the contrast between "structured coding" vs. "vibe coding"?

Neither do vibe coders.

Vibecoding:
- go to chatgpt
- ask it to make an app
- ask it to fix errors (ad infinitum)
- ???
- sell app (optional)
- get sued and ruin your reputation (hopefully)
The ??? isn’t a reference to underpants gnomes. It’s just that no one has ever gotten LLMs to actually fix its own bugs to find out what that step is

Largely accurate apart from special-purpose tools usually being employed instead of ChatGPT

vibe coding is very dirty.

When you go to the ER & just start vibe-coding so now the nurses have to debug you.

Wikipedia defines it as
Advocates of vibe coding say that it allows even amateur programmers to produce software without the extensive training and skills required for software engineering.
Now if you replace some words you see how absolutely bonkers the idea in general is:
Advocates of aircraft autopilots say that it allows even amateur pilots to fly large airplanes without the extensive training and skills required for commercial pilots.

Mhhhh
Yes and noShould vibe coding be used in critical infrastructure. Hell nah
But could I could not care less if someone vibecodes a game or the one millionth second brain productivity app.

It's not just for coding either. Yesterday, my senior director used Google's AI to ask about the architecture to integrate one of our vendor products with our ERP system (usually my job). Fortunately the AI did me a solid and said "This is a highly complex integration 🤯".
Yeah... No shit, that's why so many of us are employed. Shit's complicated.
That's exactly the reason why companies what to use AI. They don't want to employ.

It's a great thing to point idea guys towards so they don't waste your time.

I remember when the term was first coined and it meant something like “asking an llm to code and NOT attempting to validate, fix or correct the outputs yourself. Just keep prompting in natural language until it works.” It was supposed to be a joke - this sort of use hits a wall pretty quickly and illustrates how limited llms can be.
The term has taken off and its meaning is now in flux. I did find it particularly amusing seeing all the LinkedIn lunatics start posting LLM written garbage about “integrating vibe coding Into your workflow” because they thought it was the new buzz word… and I guess they were right.
