1. A tweet from Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy) discussing a concept he calls "vibe coding," where he relies heavily on AI-assisted coding tools. He describes how he barely types, often giving vague or lazy instructions, accepting all changes without reviewing diffs, and copy-pasting error messages for fixes. He acknowledges that as the codebase grows, it becomes harder to understand but works well for one-offs. Full transcript: Andrej Karpathy @karpathy There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding – I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works. 0:17 · 03 Feb 25 · 4.4M Views

2. A Wikipedia page titled "Vibe coding" with a deletion notice at the top. The page describes vibe coding as an AI-dependent programming paradigm where programmers provide problem descriptions to large language models (LLMs) instead of manually writing code. The LLM generates software, shifting the programmer's role to guiding, testing, and refining AI-generated source code. The article states that vibe coding enables amateur programmers to create software without extensive training. It credits Andrej Karpathy with introducing the term in February 2025, and mentions its inclusion in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the following month as a "slang & trending" noun. Full transcript: Vibe coding is an AI-dependent programming paradigm in the field of computer programming where a person describes a problem in a few sentences as a prompt to a large language model (LLM) tuned for coding. The LLM generates software, shifting the programmer’s role from manual coding to guiding, testing, and refining the AI-generated source code.[¹][²][³] Vibe coding is claimed by its advocates to allow even amateur programmers to produce software without the extensive training and skills previously required for software engineering.[⁴] The term was introduced by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025[⁵][²][⁴][¹] and listed in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the following month as a "slang & trending" noun.[⁶]
