I know this is a meta point but I'm pretty sure vibe coding is just an X meme that means whatever the poster intends. I'm not sure you can say vibe coding does or doesn't care about relative quality


Yeah, I'm afraid "vibe coding" is a term that quickly lost its meaning because everyone was using it to mean different things.

Some people use it to mean using AI for writing code in general. I've preferred for it to mean when someone who doesn't know how to code uses AI to write code and doesn't understand the output.


Almost, but not quite. As per Karpathy's definition [0], it's not about not knowing to code (he obviously does), but rather not caring - "fully give in to the vibes" and "forget that the code even exists". So the closest implementation to this ideal would probably be something like lovable.dev, that fully hides the code from you, because if you can't resist the need to look at the code, you're not fully "vibing".

Somehow, to me that's even worse.
