Vibe coding, a term popularized by Andrej Karpathy, refers to coding with AI assistance without reviewing the generated code. It's fun for low-stakes projects but differs from responsible AI-assisted programming, which involves careful code review and considerations of performance and security. The article emphasizes the need to keep vibe coding distinct from all AI-assisted programming to preserve its unique value and encourages using it safely and thoughtfully, especially for beginners.
Not All AI-assisted Programming Is Vibe Coding (but Vibe Coding Rocks)
