No. Vibe coding, the term Andrej Karpathy coined in 2025, describes accepting AI-generated code with limited review and letting a codebase grow with partial human comprehension of it.

The distinguishing factor is traceability: whether someone can point to the requirement a change satisfies and the test that proves it.
