What 'vibe coding' actually means
Term coined by Andrej Karpathy: fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget the code even exists.
Three core principles to build by
Focus on your vision, not just the feature list. Iterate, don't restart. Once you've built something, publish it.
Start simpler than you think
A lighter prompt often produces better results. AI surfaces features you wouldn't have thought of. Over-specifying early cuts off that creative loop. Start loose, then refine.
What members walked out with
Think of AI less like a task-runner and more like an editor or creative collaborator. The magic isn't in the first prompt. It's in the refinement loop.
Bonus power prompts
UX PRD prompt (for developer handoff)
“You are a UX designer. Based on the instructions and requirements I've defined, generate a UX PRD that includes the product's goals, design principles, features and requirements descriptions and scenarios.”
Reverse prompt (to share your creation)
“Generate a concise reverse prompt so that others can use AI to create the same UI.”
