Do you include "vibe coding" in your CV? Curious to hear your take.

Hey Indie Hackers,

Bit of a random one, but something I've been thinking about lately.
For those of you who've been in the game for a while — do you ever mention vibe coding in your CV, cover letter, or portfolio?

Like, if you have a particular IDE, setup, or way of getting in the zone (VS Code + Lofi + 3AM energy, for example), does that have any place in your professional materials?

I’ve personally never seen a job listing that says, “must be good at vibe coding” — at least not here in India. But at the same time, so much of building indie products and shipping fast comes down to being able to get into that state of flow and just… create.

So I’m torn:

  • Would including something like this just make me look unprofessional?
  • Or could it show a bit of personality, maybe help me stand out — especially for more creative or product-focused roles?

Genuinely curious how others are approaching this.
Do you bring up your “vibe” in your applications, or is that something better left for a personal blog / Twitter / Indie Hackers post like this one?

Would love to hear your thoughts 🙌
