The Age of Vibe Coders: AI’s Trojan Horse into Software Development
AI-generated code is reshaping software development with a concept called "vibe coding," where programmers rely on AI-generated suggestions without fully understanding the underlying logic. While this approach accelerates prototyping and lowers the barrier to coding, experts warn that it could introduce risks, such as unmaintainable code and technical debt.

While vibe coding originated with Karpathy as a playful term, it may encapsulate a real shift in how some developers approach programming tasks—prioritizing speed and experimentation over deep technical understanding. And to some people, that may be terrifying.
As AI tools improve, the balance between speed and software reliability remains a critical debate in the industry.
