The original title is "Vibe Coding: From Viral Tweet to Default Development Practice"

Short summary

Andrej Karpathy coined "vibe coding" in Feb 2025; by mid-2026, 92% of US developers use AI coding tools daily and 46% of new code is AI-generated. The practice has evolved from blindly accepting AI output to a disciplined workflow with structured human oversight, specs, and validation. A critical trust gap remains: only 29% of developers trust AI-generated code, making testing and verification the key competitive differentiator.
