A new approach to software creation gained renewed attention when Andrej Karpathy recently coined it “vibe coding”. According to Karpathy, this new kind of coding is “where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists." In his words, "It's not really coding – I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy-paste stuff, and it mostly works."
Vibe coding flips traditional development on its head by enabling users to direct AI coding agents through natural language prompts. This approach shifts the focus from the underlying code and instead prioritizes the software’s behavior and functionality. Rather than examining the code itself, the emphasis is placed on the software’s ability to meet the desired objectives.
