Great article, though I'm still reading it as it's a mammoth read!

A side note: as it's been painfully pointed out to me, "vibe coding" means not reading the code (ever!). We need a term for coding with LLMs exclusively, but also reviewing the code they output at each step.

We could revive the old CASE acronym (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_software_engine...). ;)

		Actually a good suggestion. Prediction: arguments over the definition will ensue

It's called "reviewing code." I'm not taking any kind of responsibility for code that I haven't written myself.

You're not just hitting go and reviewing code though. If someone asked how I built a side project and I said "reviewing code" it would make no sense.

> If someone asked how I built a side project Then you might have to say the truth: that you didn't build it, but Claude/OpenAI/Gemini built it under your supervision.

		Now we're getting somewhere. I think there's more than just supervision involved though. The ideas, direction and design are also provided by the person driving and reviewing output from the agents.

I use "Pro-coding" as it implies professionalism or process, or at least some sort of formality.

It doesn't imply AI, but I don't distinguish between AI-assisted and pre-AI coding, just vibe-coding as I think thats the important demarcation now.

Prompt coding or just prompting

"Lets prompt up a new microservice for this"

"What have you been prompting lately?"

"Looking at commits, prompt coding is now 50% of your output. Have a raise"

		What is the term for getting the ick from reading?

Just use "coding", then let's reserve the word "programming" for Linus.
