Vibe coding named Word of the Year. Developers faceplant

Collins Dictionary named 'vibe coding' its Word of the Year 2025, describing the practice of using AI with natural language prompts to write code. The term, coined by Andrej Karpathy, represents a shift toward AI-assisted development where developers rely on AI tools without deeply understanding the underlying code. Major tech companies like JetBrains, AWS, and Salesforce have launched vibe coding platforms, though early testing suggests these tools often over-promise on capabilities. The trend raises concerns about code quality, security, and the implications of lowering barriers to software development for those without traditional coding knowledge.
