In the 1970s, when David Hume-style rationalism took root in computer science, people believed programming was a precise logical deduction. Every semicolon, every line of indentation, was a concrete externalization of abstract thinking in the developer’s mind.
But in 2025, this classical elegance has been shattered by something called Vibe Coding.
This term has become the word of the year. Andrej Karpathy defined it at the beginning of the year and championed it again at year’s end: writing programs no longer requires typing line by line, but rather acting like a director, gesturing and directing Claude or Cursor.
As long as the “vibe” is right, hundreds or thousands of lines of code pour down like a waterfall. Vibe Coding seems like a “wish-fulfillment” productivity miracle, but beneath this, a new kind of occupational hazard is spreading: AI hasn’t made us more relaxed—it’s merely transformed physical labor into cognitive overload and exhaustion.
