Vibe Coding: The Most Dangerous Idea in Software Development
Andrej Karpathy—former director of AI at Tesla and OpenAI co-founder—coined a term last year that’s become the most divisive concept in software development: “vibe coding.”
His description was disarmingly casual: an approach “where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.” In practice, it means letting AI tools take the lead on implementation while you focus on describing what you want rather than how to build it. Accept the suggestions, trust the output, don’t overthink the details.
GitHub Copilot Agent Mode: First Impressions and Practical Limits
GitHub Copilot’s agent mode represents a significant shift in how AI coding assistants work. Instead of just suggesting completions as you type, agent mode can iterate on its own code, catch and fix errors automatically, suggest terminal commands, and even analyze runtime errors to propose fixes.
This isn’t AI-assisted coding anymore. It’s AI-directed coding, where you’re less of a writer and more of an orchestrator. After spending time with this new capability, I have thoughts on what it delivers, where it falls short, and how to use it effectively.
