Vibe coding is a state where you don't follow strict programming rules, but simply catch the mood and code intuitively. Without unnecessary structure, without TDD and strict patterns. The main thing is to quickly "feel" the code, to create here and now.
🎧 In the headphones — a favorite soundtrack.
 🧠 In the head — a fog of ideas.
 🖥️ In front of you — an editor that almost fills itself with code.
 🤖 Next to you — ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, CodeWhisperer, or a local LLM that completes functions for you, fixes bugs, and even designs and creates functionality.
AI and agents - the new ingredient of vibe coding
Today, vibe coding is collaboration with AI. You are no longer alone. You drop an idea in the chat — and get a rough draft. Not always perfect, but it gives a start. Or conversely — you just write, and the agent optimizes, adds types, fixes edge cases, finds holes in logic.
Sometimes it feels like you are even a conductor, not a coder. You just wave your hands - and the code appears. This job can be called "artificial intelligence operator" or something like that.

Why is this?

  • To quickly assemble an MVP.
  • To learn a new library without documentation.
  • To break through creative block.
  • To get results now, not after a sprint.

What this is not

 This is not production code (at least not on the first try).
 This is not code for review.
 This is not "best practice". But this is a source of ideas, a testing ground, and a way not to burn out from perfectionism.
