Wait what? Are there rules to vibe coding now? Are we no true Scotsmanning slop now?
- mkehrt 3mo agoWell, that's literally what "vibe coding means", no?
- fancyfredbot 3mo agoThe term vibe coding actually originated from a tweet from Andrej Karpathy and so there is actually a sort of definition of the term. He said vibe coding is where you "forget the code exists": https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383?lang=en https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383?lang=en So if you "read the diff" it isn't vibe coding, at least not by Karpathy's definition. Obviously it's not a "rule" and you can still call it vibe coding if you want to. Maybe the meaning of the term has evolved since his tweet anyway.
