""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 [voice-to-text app] 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.""
""Vibe coding leverages AI to write code for products including apps, one-off digital experiences, websites, and SaaS tools. Creators enter plain-language prompts (in some cases they even use text-to-speech tools so that they can speak these prompts) to describe what they're looking for, and a vibe coding platform like Bolt or Emergent will program it for them. Vibe coding as a term was first coined by computer scientist Andrej Karpathy, who wrote on X last February:""
Vibe coding leverages large language models and voice or plain-language prompts to generate functional code for apps, websites, one-off digital experiences, and SaaS tools. Creators can speak or type descriptions and platforms such as Bolt, Emergent, Base44, and Cursor Composer produce the implementation. The term originated with Andrej Karpathy, who described relying on voice-to-text tools and accepting generated diffs without close review. Vibe coding accelerates creation and reduces the need for specialized coding skills, enabling rapid prototyping and mainstream adoption among creators and influencers. The process remains fallible and can produce errors or require debugging and oversight.
