## What is Vibe Coding Trends

Vibe Coding Trends is a free, automated daily feed that surfaces real posts about vibe coding, vibe design, and AI-assisted software development. It is not AI-generated content — it aggregates and lightly summarises real posts from across the web, updated every day.

## What is Vibe Coding

Vibe coding is a style of software development where developers use AI coding tools (such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Bolt, Lovable, or GitHub Copilot) to build applications primarily through natural-language prompts, with minimal manual code writing. The term was popularised by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025. Related concepts include: agentic coding, AI-assisted development, prompt-driven development, and vibe design (applying the same approach to UI/UX).
