The answer

Vibe coding in 30 seconds

In short

Vibe coding is a way of creating software by giving instructions in everyday language to an AI, which writes the code for you. You test the result, then ask for corrections. The term appeared in early 2025 and was named word of the year 2025 by a major English dictionary. It works well for prototypes and small tools, less so for projects that handle sensitive data without a review.
