Vibe coding
Vibe coding is building software mostly by describing what you want to an AI and accepting the code it writes, often without reading it closely. It lets non-programmers make working prototypes quickly.
In one line, for a 12-year-old
Vibe coding is making an app by telling the AI what you want instead of typing the code yourself.
An example
A soccer coach describes a team sign-up page to an AI app builder and has a working version by lunch.
Why it matters to people
Code nobody has read can hide security holes. Anything that collects people's information needs a real review before it goes live.
