The concept of “Vibe Coding,” introduced by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, uses natural language prompts to generate code, transforming traditional software development approaches. This method offers developers a new working paradigm that utilizes natural language descriptions of intent to assist in program development, complementing traditional programming skills.
This presentation explores practical applications of Vibe Coding in open data projects such as Wikidata and OpenStreetMap. We will analyze the complete workflow of data project development—from exploratory analysis and information organization to code quality, security, and maintenance issues. We’ll discuss how Vibe Coding can reshape data projects, lower technical barriers, and consequently expand community collaboration and participation.
