Vibe Coding
AI & Emerging Tech
Building software by describing what you want to an AI and steering the result, rather than writing every line.
In practice
Vibe coding is the practice of directing an AI coding assistant in natural language, accepting most of what it produces, and shaping the outcome by feel — running it, reacting, and asking for changes — instead of reading and authoring each line. It shifts the work from typing to judgement: knowing what good looks like, and noticing when the machine has drifted.
Questions
What is Vibe Coding?
Vibe coding is building working software by telling an AI what you want and iterating on what comes back, with the code itself treated as an output rather than the medium.
Why do you use Vibe Coding?
It collapses the distance between an idea and a running prototype. A designer who cannot write production code can still get a real thing in front of people in an afternoon.
How do you use/apply Vibe Coding?
Describe the outcome, run what you get, and correct it in plain language. Keep the loop short, keep the scope small, and read the code when it matters — money, data, anything a user trusts you with.
When do you use Vibe Coding?
For prototypes, internal tools and anything you need to see before you can judge. Less so for the parts of a product that have to be right the first time.
Who uses Vibe Coding?
Designers, founders and engineers who want to move fast — and increasingly anyone with a clear idea and an evening.
