What is the new trend of Tech World, Vibe Coding? How one word from Andre Carpathi changed the definition of programming

News India Live, Digital Desk: If you think that coding only means clicking your fingers on a keyboard and writing complex syntax, then you are living in an old era. In February 2025, Andre Carpathi, co-founder of OpenAI and former AI director of Tesla, made a tweet that ‘Vibe Coding’ Gave birth to. By the year 2026, this word has become a part of discussions from Google CEO Sundar Pichai to Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu. In simple language, vibe coding means leaving aside the worries about code and just focusing on your ‘idea’ and ‘vibe’.

What is vibe coding? (Vibe Coding Explained)

Vibe coding is a process where you don’t write a single line of code yourself. Instead, you tell the AI ​​(like Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT) in your own plain language what you need.

See Stuff, Say Stuff: You tell the AI ​​how the app should look.

Run Stuff: AI writes code and you run it.

Fix Stuff: If an error occurs, you paste the error message back into the AI ​​and it fixes it itself.

In the words of Karpathy, in this you completely “Vibes” They surrender themselves to the code and forget that the code is also present in the background.

Big changes in the world of software

Vibe coding has brought three big changes to the tech industry:

Entry for Non-Technical People: Now one does not need a 4-year engineering degree to build an app. If you have a good idea, you can build your startup or tool in just a few hours through ‘Vibe Coding’.

Velocity: The software which earlier took weeks to create, can now be ready in a weekend (Weekend Project). According to Sundar Pichai, this is making coding “more enjoyable and accessible”.

Change in role: Now the job of developers has become not ‘writing code’ but ‘guiding the AI ​​agent’ (Agentic Engineering). Some 92% of US developers are now using AI tools in 2026.

Controversy and Challenges: Is it dangerous?

While Sundar Pichai is calling it the future, stalwarts like Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu consider it an ‘oversimplification’. Critics say that:

Safety Threat: Code written by AI may contain hidden flaws (security vulnerabilities) that a ‘vibe coder’ would not be able to catch.

Lack of basic understanding: If AI makes a major mistake, fixing it without technical knowledge can be like a game of ‘snakes and ladders’.

Maintenance: Code created by AI can be difficult to run and update over a long period of time.
