Vibe Coding: hoe AI natuurlijke taal omzet in werkende code

Back to overview

Vibe coding, a term coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, represents a fundamental shift in software development where developers guide AI agents through conversational feedback loops rather than writing code line-by-line. This approach transforms plain English descriptions into functional applications through iterative cycles of describing goals, generating code, running tests, and refining results. Two main techniques exist: pure vibe coding for rapid prototyping and throwaway projects, and responsible AI-assisted development where developers review and validate each code
