Quick meaning

Vibe Coding is building software by describing the desired vibe or outcome to ai tools, then iterating on the generated code. It is commonly used in online conversations, captions, comments, creator videos, and community jokes. The meaning can shift by platform, country, and time, so MemeSlang treats it as an internet-culture reference rather than a fixed dictionary definition.

Examples
