What is Vibe Coding?

What in the world is vibe coding? Is it

being super lazy and letting AI write all of your code for you? Or is it being a chill guy and manifesting B2B SAS?

Well, today I'm going to break it down for you. I'm Matt. I work in developer

for you. I'm Matt. I work in developer relations at Replet. Uh, and vibe coding is basically a term for leaning on AI agents to write most of the code for the apps that you're trying to build. and it

allows you to freeze your time up to be more of a manager or direct the outcome of the application as well as how it works and the functionality that it has.

Now, vive coding was a term coined by Andre Carpathy who is a super early member at OpenAI and just a really famous guy and a thought leader in the AI ecosystem. We'd all known I think

AI ecosystem. We'd all known I think everyone in the AI community knew that something was up for the past few months seeing people build almost entirely with AI um and share their sort of

experiences online. but he was the first

experiences online. but he was the first one to put the term to the name. Since

then it started getting associated with like this Rick Rubin meme where he's like you know sort of vibing to uh some music and after that it really blew up when Rick Rubin came out and not

acknowledged the term vibe coding. I

don't know how much coding Ripper Rubin does but he's even discussed it. I have

no technical ability and I know nothing about music.

But at the core, vibe coding just means using AI agents, using an editor that has some AI functionality to build apps almost entirely with natural language or

even your voice. And what we've seen is that just about every 7 months, the uh amount of work that AI can do by itself is doubling. So a few years ago we had

is doubling. So a few years ago we had GitHub copilot and you could you know tab autocomplete uh finish a line then you know maybe six or seven months later you could write functions after that it

was writing parts of files to features in apps and now we're at the point where these agents can write entire applications and this is actually been measured and seems to be following a

pretty reliable trajectory. So at its core, vibe coding is just using AI to write code. But here's the thing, it's

write code. But here's the thing, it's still really hard to build apps and that's because of the experience of developing applications. You still have

developing applications. You still have to configure databases or add authentication. And there are all these

authentication. And there are all these security considerations, right? You

don't want to leak your API keys. You

don't want to get uh spammed or you want to make sure your application is secure and that there's nothing to worry about.

And then even after you've considered all of that, how do you take what you've built and go from what lives on your computer to something that's live on the internet that you can share with other people? Now I work at Replet and we

people? Now I work at Replet and we actually address most of these issues.

So the cool thing about Replet is it's a browser native environment. You go to replet.com, you don't have to install anything, don't have to configure anything. We have all the tools

anything. We have all the tools available for you. Agent or autonomous AI native building system can configure your entire environment and even write the code for you. So, it'll do the vibe

coding uh while you sit back and relax.

From there, you can do things like add databases, add object storage, store your secrets in a secure environment that you don't have to worry about being exposed. And so, Replet's capable of

exposed. And so, Replet's capable of doing all the hard stuff, doing the heavy lifting for you. And we cover the platform, most of the services that are roadblocks to actually deploying your

application. And so, vibe coding at its

application. And so, vibe coding at its core is the ability to write code, build apps almost entirely with AI. Replet is

a platform that allows you to vibe code, but also provides a ton of useful services to make vibe coding in your life a whole lot easier. So, it's clear that everyone today is a builder, and

that's only going to change for the better in the future. You're only going to be able to build even cooler stuff as AI gets better. So, you should check out Replet. You should check out platforms

Replet. You should check out platforms that allow you to build as much possible and share it in a simple, seamless way.

But again, I'm Matt. This has been what vibe coding is. In my next video, I'll give you a gentle introduction to how you can start vibe coding. Until next

time peace.
