Published: 11/6/2025

Collins Dictionary has named "vibe coding" the word of the year, referring to the process of creating computer programs by describing them to artificial intelligence rather than writing manual code. Coined by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, the term signifies how AI allows programmers to create programs based on descriptions, simplifying app and website development for non-coders. While "vibe coding" enables basic app creation without coding experience, more complex projects still require expertise, highlighting the evolution of language alongside technology.
