> i’m breaking up with vibe coding. here’s why.

I eventually figured out Andrej defined the term seriously, but initially I thought "vibe coding" was a parody. As in, it's was ridiculing people who can't code and won't put the effort and just kind of like letting the LLM drive. A bit of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law in action I guess.



When I first heard the term, I thought it was meant to be derogatory. But I think that's because I personally hate the word "vibe"; lately it seems overused (mainly by gen-z'ers and younger millennials) to the point of being somewhat meaningless.
