'VIBE CODING' NAMED WORD OF THE YEAR BY COLLINS DICTIONARY

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Collins Dictionary named "vibe coding" its 2025 word of the year, referring to creating apps or websites by describing them to AI rather than writing code manually. OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy coined the term in February to describe how AI enables programmers to bypass traditional coding and focus on conceptual instructions. While the practice allows non-programmers to build basic applications through simple descriptions, more complex tools still require coding expertise, and the results aren't guaranteed to work perfectly.
