Vibe Coding

What this is

Vibe coding is building software by describing outcomes to AI, testing the result, and refining through iteration.

The loop is:

prompt -> generate -> test -> fix -> repeat

Why it matters

Vibe coding changes the learner's job.

The learner is not only typing code. The learner is directing, judging, testing, and improving the work.

What to do

Use vibe coding when you can clearly describe what you want next.

Keep the work small:

1. Define the outcome.
2. Ask for one useful change.
3. Test the result.
4. Ask what changed.
5. Fix or improve.
6. Repeat.

Common mistakes

• Treating vibe coding as magic.
• Skipping testing.
• Letting AI choose the whole direction.
• Asking for a full app before the first screen works.
