"Vibe Coding began with a modest description: Karpathy framed it as a way to use AI as a coding assistant through natural language. But as the term spread, it was quickly inflated - spawning offshoots like "context engineering" and promises of faster prototyping, instant creation, and lowered barriers, even the idea that anyone could code without really coding. A lighter vision than the Metaverse, but one that also stretches language further than reality can hold. Both are wrapped in the language of transformation."
"When done right, animations make an interface feel predictable, faster, and more enjoyable to use. They help you and your product stand out. But they can also do the opposite. They can make an interface feel unpredictable, slow, and annoying. They can even make your users lose trust in your product. So how do you know when and how to animate to improve the experience?"
Vibe Coding originated as using AI as a natural-language coding assistant but quickly ballooned into hype, spawning concepts like context engineering and promises of instant creation and lower barriers. The idea implies anyone could code without coding and contrasts with a lighter Metaverse vision while stretching language beyond practical reality. Teleportation-like AI scenarios promise societal and environmental benefits but also introduce unexpected side effects. AI interface design is shifting toward capturing user intent with ease, expressiveness, and resolution rather than low-bandwidth button paradigms. Animations can enhance predictability and enjoyment but can also undermine speed, predictability, and user trust when misused.
