Coding has found its vibe....
Coding has always been about writing logic, testing, debugging, and making it all work. But things are shifting fast. The new wave of programmers is not spending hours on every line of code. They are letting AI do much of the heavy lifting.
Welcome to vibe coding.
The idea is simple. You tell the AI what you want in natural language, almost like explaining it to a colleague. The AI then generates the code, you run it, tweak it, and move on. Instead of focusing on every curly bracket or missing semicolon, you focus on the flow, the feel, the vibe of the solution.

This does not mean coding is going away. It means the role of a programmer is evolving. You are no longer a translator of business requirements into syntax. You are the one guiding the AI, checking if the logic makes sense, and ensuring the outcome is usable. Think of it as moving up one layer in abstraction, from writing instructions to shaping intent.
The real opportunity here is how vibe coding enables closer collaboration between business and technology teams. Ideas that once stayed on whiteboards or in PowerPoint slides can now be translated into quick working prototypes. Business stakeholders can express their vision more concretely, and technology teams can refine those prototypes into production-ready solutions. It shortens the distance between imagination and execution.
But it is important to recognize the limitations. AI will happily generate code that runs, but it will not guarantee that it is efficient, secure, or scalable. It has no awareness of long term architecture, compliance requirements, or enterprise standards. Which means while vibe coding accelerates the front end of experimentation, the rigor of reviews, testing, and governance remains as critical as ever.
The vibe shift is real. Coding is no longer just about writing code; it is about orchestrating AI, fostering collaboration between business and technology, and still applying the discipline that keeps good systems from falling apart. The best time to start adapting to this was yesterday, the second-best time is now.
Just did a vibe coding experiment myself, for a template Windows program: https://www.garudax.id/pulse/vibe-coding-windows-c-grok-free-edition-overlogix-iojzf
We should not be vibe coding! We should be prompt engineering. There's an increasing bad stigma involved with "Vibe Coding" and this trend needs to stop. There's a community dedicated to this movement and have provided a framework for this, with a free prompt file. A prompt file is what you should be feeding AI before it starts any work. https://vibecodecleanup.org/ultimate-prompt-starter-pack/
I’ve been actively using vibe coding for my projects, and it’s been a game-changer for rapid prototyping. It helps me focus on product goals instead of low-level code, though we still do a clean-up pass for production. Excited to see more people exploring this approach.
so true—this gives me more time to focus on product requirements instead of getting stuck on implementation details and pixel-polish. honest take: it’s hard to say it'll replace figma anytime soon, but it’s a solid post-ideation tool to share working prototypes and brainstorm with the team.
