Introduction to Vibe Coding: A modern approach to coding using large language models (LLM) to perform coding tasks, coined by Andre Karpathy.
Origin of the Term: André Karpathy introduced the term in February, describing a coding style where you "give in to the vibes" and let LLMs handle the coding details.
Key Figures:
Andre Karpathy: PhD from Stanford, ex-director of AI at Tesla, founding member of OpenAI, founder at Eureka Labs.
Simon Willis: Contributor to the definition of vibe coding as building software with LLMs without reviewing the code.
Definition
Concept: Using LLMs to handle all coding processes, allowing the user to focus on the end product's feel and functionality rather than coding details.
Programming Language: Described as "English," where instructions are given to LLMs in natural language rather than traditional coding languages.
Demo
Platform Used: Hostinger Horizons, a website creation service using LLMs.
Example Project: Creation of a snippet sharing tool where the LLM writes the necessary code.
Process:
Input prompts to define what you want (e.g., tool features, UI elements).
LLM generates code based on prompts.
Users can request changes in plain language (e.g., altering UI button text).
Final product focuses on user experience rather than code mechanics.
Benefits
Ease of Development: Simplifies coding by allowing developers to focus on creativity and design without delving into code details.
Accessibility: Empowers more people to create software without needing traditional programming skills.
Conclusion
Vibe Coding Potential: Highlights potential changes in software development, making coding more accessible and efficient.
Future Content: A follow-up video on what vibe coding is not will be released soon.
