Overview

• Vibe coding, a term coined by Andrej Karpathy, describes an AI-assisted method of software development where developers interact with tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor’s Chat using natural language prompts.
• The approach enables rapid prototyping and makes software creation accessible to both experienced developers and amateurs, significantly reducing development time and costs.
• Latest advancements in AI models, such as Google Gemini 2.5 Pro and Anthropic’s Claude 3.7, allow for full-scale code generation, debugging, and documentation creation from simple prompts.
• Experts warn that AI-generated code often lacks reliability and security, posing risks when applied to complex systems requiring rigorous testing and oversight.
• The rise of vibe coding is reshaping developer roles, emphasizing the need for reskilling to focus on strategic problem-solving and ensuring system integrity.
