zetalyrae resurfaces Karpathy's original tweet coining "vibe coding" and marvels that it was written a whole year ago. In the quoted post, Karpathy describes fully giving in to the vibes: talking to Cursor Composer with Sonnet via SuperWhisper, asking for trivial changes, always hitting Accept All without reading diffs, pasting error messages back with no comment, and letting the code grow beyond his own comprehension. The tweet is widely cited as the origin of the vibe coding movement.
