Vibe coding: what static analysis finds in AI-generated code
The PVS-Studio team has started analyzing vibe-coded projects, the very ones that are supposed to "change the world." The static analyzer finds null pointer dereferences, dead code and logical contradictions. These errors don't show up in a demo, but they break the product in production. The series of reviews will continue: the team wants to understand which classes of defects recur systematically.

Vibe coding is an approach in which developers use AI to generate code and trust the result without closely examining the implementation. The PVS-Studio team has started systematically analyzing such projects with static analysis tools, and the first results turned out to be predictably interesting.
Who coined vibe coding?
Andrej Karpathy popularized the term "vibe coding" in early 2025. He described an approach in which the developer states an intent, the AI writes the code, and the programmer accepts the result without digging into the details of the implementation.
