This is the home of vibecoding as a craft — not a trend piece, not a tool review. A canonical definition, a manifesto, a glossary, an honest hype assessment, and a show about the people who build this way.
Vibecoding is creating software by describing what you want to an AI agent and iterating with it — you supplying the vision, direction, judgment and finishing, while the machine supplies the execution.
Technique became free, so taste became everything.
Everything on this site derives from four foundational documents. They state one definition, hold one line, and disagree with the hype in both directions.
The definition and the seven principles behind it. What we believe about creating software now — and what we refuse to believe.
Read VC-001Eight canonical questions, each answer self-contained and quotable. Do you need to code? Is it hype? Will it replace programmers?
Read VC-002Fifty terms across six categories — from operator and iteration loop to vibe slop and one-shot app. The language, defined.
Read VC-003The skeptical-but-fair assessment. What is real, what is overstated, and where the honest line sits. Verdicts included.

Andrej Karpathy (OpenAI co-founder, former Tesla AI director) observes that the hottest new programming language is English — natural language becomes the interface to software creation.
Karpathy coins "vibe coding" in a post describing a way of building where you converse with the AI, accept its output, and iterate — giving the practice its name.
Collins Dictionary names vibe coding its Word of the Year 2025. The term crosses from developer slang into the general language.
The tools stopped being the story. What separates builders now is not access to agents but the craft of directing them — which is what this site exists to define, document and teach.
Conversations and live builds with people who create software by directing agents — what they shipped, where the machine cheated, and what taste looks like in practice. Episodes coming soon.
