  • #History of Vibe Coding as a Term and an Idea

    • AI/Coding/Vibe/25/02/Karpathy Coins Term

      • On 2025-10-02 Thu, Person/Andrej Karpathy coined the term "Vibe Coding" in a tweet.

        • There’s a new kind of coding I call “vibe coding”, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It’s possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard.
          

        • I ask for the dumbest things like “decrease the padding on the sidebar by half” because I’m too lazy to find it. I “Accept All” always, I don’t read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I’d have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can’t fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away.
          

        • It’s not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I’m building a project or webapp, but it’s not really coding—I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

    • AI/Coding/Vibe/25/03/Willison Clarifies as Not Reviewing Code

      • On 2025-03-19 Wed, Person/Simon Willison/Blog/25/03/Not all AI-assisted programming is vibe coding, clarified

        • When I talk about vibe coding I mean building software with an LLM without reviewing the code it writes
          

    • On 2025-10-08 Wed, Person/Simon Willison/Blog/25/10/Vibe Engineering suggested that Vibe Coding is the opposite of a new term Vibe Engineering:

      • the other end of the spectrum from Vibe Coding, where seasoned professionals accelerate their work with LLMs while staying proudly and confidently accountable for the software they produce
