It's interesting to me how I didn't know where the "vibe coding" term came from originally, and thought someone has decided to push and hype it up really hard as an alternative approach to writing software in general. And now that I see it, it sounds way more reasonable than the way it's been spreading out of context.

I'm sure it will go down in history as some sort of intentional movement, and then someone will occasionally point out "did you know that originally this idea was never meant to be used for serious work, Andrej literally said it was only okay for throwaway weekend projects." Big not-always-good things[1] started this way — by misinterpreting something.

Of course, it's possible that in the future code written this way will actually be maintainable, performant, and secure enough that you could start trusting it, and this will morph into a legit way of writing software, but right now the hype is way ahead of what Andrej meant when he coined the term.

[1]: Examples come to mind: Agile, Scrum, Javascript (2 week project originally), there're definitely more examples.
