What exactly is vibe coding, and why is it sparking so many debates in the tech world?

In this video, we break down the origins of vibe coding (yes, it started with Andrej Karpathy’s tweet in early 2025), why it’s not the same as just “using AI to code,” and how developers are using it to quickly spin up websites, apps, and prototypes.

We’ll explore:
-The mindset behind vibe coding (AI as your improvisational coding partner)
-Why it’s useful for throwaway projects, demos, and fast prototyping
-The risks and limitations you need to keep in mind
-A live demo: vibe coding a modern interior design website in minutes

Whether you think it’s sloppy, liberating, or the future of programming, vibe coding is here, and it’s changing how people build with AI.
