original
“There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. […] I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension […] It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing.”— Andrej Karpathy, X, 02.02.2025 ↗
