Lol, sigh. Author says the term was coined 84 days ago on February 6th 2025. Literally go to Google and search ‘“vibe coding” before:2025-02:01; I see posts from more than a year ago.

Can you provide some links? I tried that search and couldn't see what you were seeing.

  I don’t think it was the right date syntax for the before search operator. Below worked for me intext:"vibe coding" before:2025/02/01

    Here's that Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=intext%3A%22vibe+coding%22+before%3A2025%2F02%2F01&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari https://www.google.com/search?q=intext%3A%22vibe+coding%22+b... The first result I got was this one https://vibecoding.vercel.app/ https://vibecoding.vercel.app/ - which is shown as being from 2023... but that's fake. Read the page and it starts by saying: > On November 30, 2023, Andrej Karpathy coined the term "vibecoding" And then includes a screenshot of Andrej's tweet - this one: https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383 https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383 But that tweet is dated 2nd February 2025. The Vercel-hosted site is lying about the date. I don't think Google's "before" filter actually works. It looks to me like blog spammers have figured this out and now habitually back-date their posts to a date well before they were written.

      Dang- Good looking out, I think you’re right. My fault for not checking the links first! Well played spammers… that totally throws a wrench in my Google dorking scraping strategy ;( lol

  Here’s one from January: https://momen.app/blogs/what-is-vibe-coding-pros-cons/ https://momen.app/blogs/what-is-vibe-coding-pros-cons/

    That is very clearly SEO blog spam, likely written by an LLM. The date cannot be trusted. I checked the Internet Archive on the chance that might have been archived near to that date, but the archive did not have a copy of it at all. Another clue: that article links to this one ("describe what you want ") https://alitu.com/creator/workflow/what-is-vibe-coding/ https://alitu.com/creator/workflow/what-is-vibe-coding/ - which links to Andrej's February tweet as the origin of the term.

Are you sure? Any results that was shown on the first page are from this year. It's funny, I tried to search that exact keywords and this exact comment is on the top page
