Vibe Coding: The Word of the Year for the AI Era
In 2025, "Vibe coding" was selected as the Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary.
This word is about using AI to write computer code.
In the past, people had to write long, hard code by themselves.
Today, AI tools can understand people’s words and help create code.
"Vibe" means feeling or atmosphere, so vibe coding is like AI programming with words.
For example, you tell the AI like “Build a game where animals jump.”
Then, the AI writes the code for you.
The word "vibe coding" was first introduced by Andrej Karpathy, a founding engineer at OpenAI.
Vibe coding can help people make programs without learning difficult code.
While vibe coding is exciting, it’s still new.
It sometimes has errors and security issues. Programmers have to review and fix the code.
Even with these challenges, this technology is changing how we create things.
It makes technology easier for everyone to use.
