What Exactly Is Vibe Coding?

What vibe coding means

Vibe coding is AI-assisted development where you describe the outcome in natural language and let models generate, modify, and refine code. The developer guides the AI with prompts, examples, and constraints, then shapes the output into production-ready software.

How it works in practice

• You define the feature in plain language
• The AI generates a first version quickly
• Engineers validate, test, and harden the result

Why teams use it

It speeds up prototyping, reduces time-to-first-demo, and helps small teams ship AI features without large engineering overhead.

When it’s a good fit

Vibe coding works best when the workflow is clear, the scope is focused, and rapid iteration matters more than perfect code on day one.
