What is Vibe Coding?
Vibe coding, also known as vibecoding, is a groundbreaking programming approach where developers describe what they want in plain language, and artificial intelligence (AI)-typically large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4-translates those instructions into working code. Instead of painstakingly writing every line, users simply express their intentions, and the AI generates the software, shifting the human role from manual coding to guiding, testing, and refining the AI’s output.
The term “vibe coding” was introduced by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025 and quickly gained traction as a trending concept in both developer circles and mainstream tech media. Karpathy described it as a conversational, almost playful process: “It’s not really coding-I just see things, say things, run things, and copy-paste things, and it mostly works”
