What is AI vibe coding? It's all the rage but it's not for everyone - here's why

"Vibe coding" is a new AI-assisted programming approach introduced by Andrej Karpathy. It speeds up prototyping and basic development by relying heavily on AI tools with minimal human input. While effective for quick setups and iterations, it struggles with precise edits and custom designs. Experienced programmers caution that it's best suited for throwaway projects and shouldn't replace skilled engineering for production-grade work.
