The Misunderstood 'Vibe Coding': A Missed Opportunity

Two publishers and three authors have fundamentally misinterpreted the meaning of 'vibe coding,' confusing it with AI-assisted programming. The author argues that true vibe coding, as defined by Andrej Karpathy, involves using AI to generate code without focusing on the code's specifics; it's a low-code approach for non-programmers. The author expresses disappointment that the publishers and authors didn't fully grasp Karpathy's definition, missing a huge opportunity to create a valuable book on empowering non-programmers to build custom software using AI without learning traditional coding.
