### AI overview

This article examines vibe coding, an AI-assisted development style in which people describe what they want conversationally and iteratively refine the result instead of writing code line by line. It presents the approach as a playful, more accessible way to prototype and build software, while acknowledging debate about whether it creates more mayhem than magic.
