The In-Demand AI Skill (And Certifications) That Pays Up To $220,000
- This year, Collins Dictionary chose 'vibe coding' as its 2025 Word of the Year after tracking a large uptick in usage in its Collins Corpus across online platforms.
- Karpathy coined 'vibe coding' earlier this year, describing it as AI letting programmers 'forget that the code even exists' while Collins defines it as AI turning natural language into code.
- The method pairs human vision with iterative AI output refinements, but generated code can be buggy and complex tools still require developer skill.
- Collins described the pick as signalling a major shift in software development, with Beecroft saying the selection 'perfectly captures how language is evolving alongside technology.'
- Collins predicts the term will appear more often in coming years, notable as a two-word phrase following last year's 'brat' and reflecting broader online-language shifts.
