Vibe coding: building without knowing how to code?
Vibe coding means describing what you want in plain English and letting AI write the code. It is fast for a first try. For a real project, you need a method and some caution.

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.
AI writes the code
It produces a first version in a few minutes.
You test
You check that everything works and ask for corrections.
You secure it
Before publishing, data, access and backups are checked.
Succeeding with a vibe coding project
The most important part happens before you write the first request.
What vibe coding does well, or not
The right use depends on the risk. The more sensitive the data, the more a review matters.
| Project | Suitable? | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page, business website | Yes | Legal notice and cookies |
| Small internal tool, calculator | Yes | Access restricted to the team |
| Prototype to test an idea | Yes | Don't confuse it with the final product |
| Form that collects data | With caution | GDPR, storage and security |
| Online payment, customer accounts | With a professional | Possible security flaws |
| Critical or heavily used software | No, not alone | Maintenance and liability |
AI-generated code can contain errors or security flaws. You remain responsible for what you put online.

Your questions, our answers
What is vibe coding?
It means creating a program by describing what you want to an AI, which writes the code. You test, then fix things with new requests, without necessarily reading the code.
Can I build a website with vibe coding without knowing how to code?
Yes, for a simple website. You need a clear method, regular testing and a check of the legal information, cookies and security before going live.
Is vibe coding dangerous?
It is not dangerous in itself, but the code produced can contain security flaws. For customer data or payments, a review by a professional is wise.
Who came up with the term vibe coding?
The term was popularised in February 2025 by a well-known AI researcher. It was chosen as word of the year 2025 by a major English-language dictionary.
Can I sell a website built with vibe coding?
Yes, as long as you deliver tested, compliant work. You are responsible for what you deliver, like any service provider.
Will vibe coding replace developers?
No. It speeds up building prototypes and small tools. Complex projects still need skills in security, maintenance and architecture.
