A self-deprecating tweet about lazy weekend hacking became the official vocabulary of enterprise AI — in exactly one year. Today: how "vibe coding" became "vibe working," what that means for professional expertise, and why the people naming the shift seem to know it's not the whole story.

In this episode:

• Karpathy's original vibe coding tweet — one year ago this week
• Collins Dictionary Word of the Year 2025
• Scott White's "vibe working" declaration at the Opus 4.6 launch
• Microsoft's adoption of the same language for Copilot Agent Mode
• What paradigm collapse looks like inside corporations: Goldman, Klarna, the Monday.com clone
• The accountability gap: 57% vs 71% accuracy, and who catches the errors
• Karpathy hand-coding his latest project — no vibes
• Andrew Ng's pushback: "some of the worst career advice ever"
