What is Vibe Coding?

Definition
Vibe Coding is the practice of building things where intuition leads and implementation follows. Less over-engineering, more shipping. The "vibe" is the feel—does it work? Does it feel right?
Principles
- Ship first — Get something working before optimizing.
- Trust the gut — Sometimes the linter is wrong. Sometimes you just know.
- Experiment openly — Try stuff. Break stuff. Learn.
- Document as you go — Notes, markdown, comments. Future-you will thank present-you.
Example
// Vibe check: does this feel right?
const result = await doTheThing();
if (result.vibes === "good") {
shipIt();
}
No, that's not real code. But you get the idea.
