What Really Is Vibe Coding
It will stay, but not because it’s the future
Vibe coding is the latest fad on the street. It’s nothing but an innovative way of coding that relies on sophisticated AI tools — aka LLMs.
The source of the term is none other than AI-LLM guru Andrej Karpathy.
Andrej, a PhD from Stanford, is not just a prominent AI building block in companies like OpenAI and Tesla. He also runs a highly benevolent educational initiative on YouTube, teaching millions about chatbots and AI.
When he speaks, AI techies listen. Even the New York Times and Business Insider had to take notice.

Vibe coding isn’t a formal sub-discipline of programming, and it will never be. It’s not a concept. It’s a feeling. Programmers have known it even before AI. Andrej finally put a name on it.
