Vibe Coding by Example


"VIBE Coding by Example" is a comprehensive guide to AI-assisted programming that's transforming software development. This book introduces readers to VIBE (Visual, Interactive, Bot-assisted Engineering) coding—where developers collaborate with AI to build software through natural language instructions rather than writing every line manually.

Written for both beginners and experienced developers, this book explores the paradigm Andrej Karpathy described in early 2025 as "fully giving in to the VIBEs" of AI-generated code. Through practical projects, readers learn to harness AI assistants like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GitHub Copilot, and specialized IDEs to build real applications.

While we focused on Claude 3.7 Sonnet for this book in order to be consistent, you could use an alternative AI such as Gemini Pro 2.5, or Open AI o3. In addition, we show you how to set up GitHub Copilot and Cursor.
