Vibe coding is heavily using AI, but heavily using AI is not necessarily vibe coding.

Vibe coding is when you disregard the code altogether and build something throwaway for fun that you don’t care about maintaining:

> There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. […] It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
