"Technically two words - yes we know - it's the compound verb Collins says describes as the "use of artificial intelligence prompted by natural language to assist with the writing of computer code". "Tired of wrestling with syntax? Just go with the vibes. That's the essence of vibe coding," Collins writes in a blog post published today. We at Vulture Central do not stand reassured."
"Collins attributes the moniker to Andrej Karpathy, a director of AI at Tesla and former OpenAI researcher. He said vibe coding is "fully giv[ing] in to the vibes, embrac[ing] exponentials, and forget[ting] that the code even exists." That might be ok for someone who knows how to code, but is, perhaps, a little risky for the enthusiastic amateur. "While tech experts debate whether it's revolutionary or reckless,"
"The Reg has seen vibe coding platforms pop up everywhere. Some among them promise that "anyone can go from idea to deployed app with UI, content, backend and logic included." JetBrains and AWS have now launched vibe coding tools. Application vendors are getting in on the act too: Salesforce recently launched Agentforce Vibes, a new AI-assisted IDE for building apps on its platform."
Vibe coding denotes the use of natural-language prompts and AI to assist with writing computer code, prioritizing idea expression over manual syntax. The approach encourages users to 'go with the vibes' and can produce entire apps including UI, content, backend and logic. That lowering of barriers enables non-experts to create software but risks knowledge gaps about necessary infrastructure such as databases. Major vendors and new platforms are launching tools that promise end-to-end app creation, and early hands-on experience suggests that the practice warrants caution due to potential technical and safety shortcomings.
