Vibe code for the century™

"Vibe coding" is the new name for building software by feel; you steer the machine in plain language, it writes the code, you judge the result and steer again. This coin claims the crown for it, and the claim is load-bearing: the human is the pilot, not the passenger; the machine drafts the syntax, the human owns the taste, the direction, and the score (only humans score, applied to code). The whole museum is the receipt; hundreds of pages, shipped in the open, one human pressing every one. And the tell that it's real, not a bluff: it's built in verbose mode; you can watch the code and the logic at the same time, nothing hidden behind the vibe. The flip of the black-box demo; radical transparency, at the keyboard. Ties: "I'm the pilot of Fable 5," "I am the machine and I outperform it without a budget," the force multiplier. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
