Vibe Coder or Real Dev?
In February 2025, former Tesla AI Director Andrej Karpathy coined the term vibe coding: letting AI generate code while you just guide the vibes. Where do you land on the spectrum?
“I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works... 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.”
— Andrej Karpathy (Founding OpenAI / Tesla AI Director, Feb 2025)
