Vibe coding

Vibe coding is a 2025 thing! But it doesn’t stop there … it’s going to be huge!

Andrej Karpathy who is a nice guy and one of the minds behind ChatGPT and Tesla Autopilot created this term recently. Basically, it means riding the vibe: you prompt a little, let AI code for you, tweak a little, but mostly let AI generate the final code for you.

I’ve been vibe coding for a few months now in my day-to-day work (I am not software engineer but in big tech companies even managers have to code). I just rely on the output, without spending too much time reviewing or debugging. It’s more accessible, more fun, and honestly, way more productive.

But what does vibe coding mean for society?

A shift in the programming mindset: Soon, everyone will call themselves a programmer but what they’ll actually be using are AI prompters, not traditional coding skills. Coding becomes non-technical. It will start to feel more like writing or typing.
