For complete beginners or nontechnical dreamers, writing code based on vibes – feelings rather than explicitly defined information – could feel like a superpower.

Vibe coding is a buzzy phrase that describes using AI language tools to write software. You enter a natural language phrase for what you want – to a point – and get back code.

For complete beginners or nontechnical dreamers, writing code based on vibes — feelings rather than explicitly defined information — could feel like a superpower.

Writing computer code is helpful for people in many disciplines, but learning to program is hard. Large language models can help nonprogrammers skip the difficult details.

In our introductory programming course with a majority of students who are not computer science majors, we see firsthand how AI can empower students in specific ways – and promises to expand the ...

Indeed, many students end up barely able to write small functions – short, discrete pieces of code – let alone write a full program that can help make their lives better.
