Vibe coding, a term coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, is the practice of steering AI models via natural language prompts to generate working code — shifting the developer’s role from typing to guiding and refining AI outputs. This approach massively reduces the need for in-depth coding knowledge and allows for rapid prototyping.
Sounds great, right? No longer will software engineers have to spend hours perfecting code! Instead, they can be conductors, guiding an orchestra of AI tools to create their dream projects. But just how…
