Drum roll, please! This year’s Word of the Year is... 'vibe coding'.
As Collins defines it, vibe coding is “the use of artificial intelligence prompted by natural language to assist with the writing of computer code". You might say: "Write me a website that shows today’s weather and updates every hour", or "Build me an app that reminds me what to eat every day to reach my weight loss goals".
It perfectly reflects the blend of creativity and technology shaping our world.
