Today I learned the term Vibe Coding. I love it.

Edit: This article is a treasure.

The concept of vibe coding elaborates on Karpathy's claim from 2023 that "the hottest new programming language is English",

Claim from 2023?! Lol. I've heard (BASIC) that (COBOL) before (Ruby).

A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding.[1] AI researcher Simon Willison said: "If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you've reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that's not vibe coding in my book—that's using an LLM as a typing assistant."[1]

Did we make it from AI hype to AI dunk in the space of a single Wikipedia article? Lol.

I've ended up becoming the sole caretaker of two react native apps, something I did not ask for but some people were fried.

I'm not going to manually troubleshoot and learn everything that breaks when I need to update a dependency. I'll vibe through those errors, learn what I have time for and then test it like mad.

A lot of the time I end up having to solve things myself but my job wouldn't be tolerable if I had to manually work that shit.

Yeah. The "this got dumped on us and we're doing the minimum until we can replace it" is a genuinely solid use case for vibe coding.

And honestly, that's all I usually did with those before AI came along anyway. So I welcome better tools for it.
