"Vibe Coding began with a modest description: Karpathy framed it as a way to use AI as a coding assistant through natural language. But as the term spread, it was quickly inflated - spawning offshoots like "context engineering" and promises of faster prototyping, instant creation, and lowered barriers, even the idea that anyone could code without really coding. A lighter vision than the Metaverse, but one that also stretches language further than reality can hold. Both are wrapped in the language of transformation."
"When done right, animations make an interface feel predictable, faster, and more enjoyable to use. They help you and your product stand out. But they can also do the opposite. They can make an interface feel unpredictable, slow, and annoying. They can even make your users lose trust in your product. So how do you know when and how to animate to improve the experience?"
Vibe coding originated as using AI as a natural-language coding assistant and quickly expanded into exaggerated concepts like context engineering, instant creation, and lowered barriers to coding, creating a transformative rhetoric similar to the Metaverse. Imagined AI benefits include teleportation-like convenience, boosted commerce, reduced pollution, and more family time, alongside unforeseen social side effects. The objective for AI interfaces is to capture user intent with ease, expressiveness, and high resolution rather than rely on low-bandwidth touch interactions. Animations can enhance predictability and enjoyment when applied purposefully but can also slow interfaces and erode user trust if misused.
