Bliki: Vibe Coding

This article by Martin Fowler defines 'vibe coding,' a term coined by Andrej Karpathy, where developers build applications by prompting an LLM and accepting all generated code without reading or reviewing it. It contrasts this with 'agentic programming,' where programmers still oversee and understand the code. Vibe coding enables non-programmers to create software but often results in maintainability, correctness, and security issues, making it suitable only for disposable or limited-audience projects. The article discusses the risks, limitations, and evolving nature of this approach in the context of generative AI and LLM advancements.
