/ quick answer
Vibe Coding is a development style where a person describes what they want in plain language and an AI agent writes, edits, and runs the code. The human steers direction, reviews output, and iterates — instead of typing syntax line by line. It collapses the gap between idea and working product.

Vibe Coding is a development style where a person describes what they want in plain language and an AI agent writes, edits, and runs the code. The human steers direction, reviews output, and iterates — instead of typing syntax line by line. It collapses the gap between idea and working product. In practice: A founder types 'build me a landing page with a waitlist form and a Stripe checkout' into Lovable and ships a working site in an afternoon — never opening a code editor.
