The core principle in vibe coding

2026年3月26日

The core principle in vibe coding is that you never ever look at the code!!

If you ever take a glance at the code, you lose the vibe, and you turn back to an old-era programmer!

Because you don’t look at the code, you shouldn’t know the programming language it’s in. Accordingly, it’s meaningless to install “build-essentials” or python or jdk. In this way you don’t need IDE. Not only Visual Studio and Pycharm, but also VS Code, Vim, and notepad. You need no editor for vibe coding. Take my word.

Let your loyal agent handle the environment for you. Claude Code can install compilation tools for you.

Since you don’t read the code, what if you want to know something about the code? Ask Claude in its terminal.

In a nutshell, as a vibe coder, you should focus on functional requirements rather than coding details.
