Vibe Coding is building software through conversational collaboration with AI. Instead of writing every line yourself, you guide an AI assistant like Claude Code through natural language to create working applications rapidly. You're the architect and decision-maker while AI handles implementation details.
This approach is fundamentally changing how we build software in 2025. The results speak for themselves.
