What Vibe Coding Is (and What It Isn't)

Quick Summary

Vibe coding uses natural-language direction and AI agents to build software iteratively. It lowers the barrier to a prototype, but it does not remove the need for requirements, review, testing, security, or technical ownership.

What you will learn
  • Define vibe coding and contrast it with conventional development
  • Identify projects suitable and unsuitable for a first AI-assisted build
  • Describe the human responsibilities that remain throughout delivery
