FAQ

VibeCoding memes, answered

What is vibe coding?

Vibe coding is writing software mostly by prompting an AI and accepting what it produces, steered by intuition instead of line-by-line review. It ships features at absurd speed and generates bugs that nobody can quite explain or reproduce.

Are vibe coding memes mocking AI coding?

Affectionately. They celebrate the speed and roast the chaos in equal measure: the 4am deploy that somehow works, the function nobody remembers writing, and the quiet faith that the model knew what it was doing.
