Can you ELI5?
Vibe coding is the current trend of having an LLM build your codebase for you then shipping it without attempting to understand the codebase.
Most developers are using LLMS to some extent to speed up their coding, as cursor and Claude are really good at removing toil. But vibe coders have the LLM build the entire thing and don't even know how it works.
Thanks. What is an LLM?
Large language models (LLM) are the product of neural networks, a relatively recent innovation in the field of computer intelligence.
Since these systems are surprisingly adept at producing natural sounding language, and is good at create answers that sound correct (and sometimes actually happen to be) marketers have seized on this as an innovation, called it AI (a term with a complicated history), and have started slapping it onto every product.
Neural networks have been around for quite some time. The simplest forms of it have actually existed since around 1795.
Ahhhhhh... that's a really simple explanation thanks
