The term for this style of on-command software development is “vibe coding” — Andrej Karpathy, cofounder of OpenAI, coined it last month and it instantly caught on. The idea: Instead of developers writing literal lines of code, anyone can direct AI to build based on a prompt… and tweak from there. In Kaprathy’s words: “it’s not really coding — I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.”

Emissions fell by 4% in Q1 and 2.6% in Q2, while GDP grew by 0.3% and 1%, respectively, compared to the same quarters in 2023, according to the latest statistics. This demonstrates that climate action and economic growth can go hand in hand : https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20241115-2
