On Vibe Coding

First published: 04 Aug 2025

This is the post I would have written if I’d not been lazy.

Extracting a quote of a quote inside this article.

[Keep] a very tight leash on this new over-eager junior intern savant with encyclopedic knowledge of software, but who also bullshits you all the time, has an over-abundance of courage and shows little to no taste for good code. And emphasis on being slow, defensive, careful, paranoid, and on always taking the inline learning opportunity, not delegating.

— Andrej Karpathy, twitter

Couldn’t agree more.

I also had my own thoughts to share, which you can find neatly packaged in this Figma short.
