Vibe coding is an approach to software development in which programmers use artificial intelligence (AI) to create or modify code through natural-language prompts, without needing detailed programming knowledge. Used this way, vibe coding obviates the need for deep knowledge of programming and makes application creation more accessible, though professional use often mandates human oversight. Computer scientist Andrej Karpathy coined the term vibe coding in February 2025 on the social media site X.
