Vibe-coding — chosen as the word of the year


According to the Collins English Dictionary, "vibe-coding" was chosen as the word of the year for 2023. This term refers to a new method of programming: instead of writing code, a person explains the task in words, and artificial intelligence turns that description into a ready-made program.

This method allows even those who do not know how to program to create software. The term "vibe-coding" became popular after a social media post in early 2023 by OpenAI cofounder Andrey Karpathy.

He wrote: "This is a new way of coding, which I call 'vibe-coding.' You follow your pure inner feelings, forget that code exists, and only focus on the tasks.

I barely touch the keyboard. I set very simple and lazy requirements, such as 'halve the width of the sidebar,' because I'm too lazy to look it up myself.

I always click the 'accept all' button. If I get an error message, I just copy and paste it without any explanation; usually, that fixes the issue.

I create a project or web application, but this is not full programming—I only see one thing, say one thing, run one thing, copy and paste, and this often works."
