Yeah, it's a distinction worth making, and the language for making it kind of sucks. Vibe coding means "AI does the whole thing", or "I use tab autocomplete" depending on who you ask. It's not a very useful term anymore, we need better ones.
replyMy benchmark is basically, "are you letting the AI drive."
In this case, an AI appears to have written the migration guide...
It was and is a perfectly good term, but people started using it without regard for its definition. I don't know why people wouldn't misuse a "better" term the same way.
replyIn this case I think the current zeitgeist (at least among zoomers and younger millennials) really loves the word "vibe". Once they hear of the term "vibe coding", they just want to be able to say it, even if what they're doing isn't really vibe coding.
replyAnd then that leaks outside their social and age groups, because other people hear the incorrect usage, get confused, and incorporate that confusion into their own use of the term.
Waiting until they decide to call non-assisted programming ‘unc coding’
replyAs someone who might be described as an "unc", I had to look up what "unc" meant.
replyi mean AI docs are usually the result of collabs between users and AI using /plan
replywith superpowers, i see a lot of specs -> impl plan -> execute plan
Yeah. It "might be" that a human actually looked at it. There's just no way to know anymore. So it rightly doesn't inspire confidence.
replyYou are right but recently, vibe coding has become a demeaning term for AI assisted code by anti-AI people. It’s interesting seeing how words evolve very quickly on the internet as they spread to different demographics.
replyThat is one person's definition of vibe coding, not "the definition" of vibe coding. Words have multiple meanings.
replyJust going off vibes and not even looking at the code was the original definition. But "different people say the same thing but mean different things" is kind of the problem I was getting at.
replyIt’s the person that created the term’s definition.
reply"Vibe coding" = "let Dario take the wheel" as ThePrimeagen puts it.
