An introduction to vibe coding

Vibe coding, a term popularized by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, refers to a programming approach where developers guide AI to generate code using plain language rather than writing out each line themselves. This method represents a shift in development from typing to steering AI, requiring a blend of intuition and iteration similar to the instincts used in hacking. While AI can efficiently process large amounts of data and generate code that appears correct, it lacks the ability to understand context or spot subtle vulnerabilities—a skill that remains distinctly human. The rise of vibe coding highlights the ongoing interplay between AI's probability-driven automation and the intuition-driven discovery of hackers. Effective cybersecurity and development now hinge on integrating AI's ability to scale tasks with human ingenuity for sense-making, pattern recognition, and critical decision-making. This collaboration ensures that while AI expands capabilities, human insight remains crucial in identifying and addressing potential security risks.
