This type of coding has been extremely helpful to me in the past few weeks. I’m on parental leave, but also a co-owner of a small company and can’t completely log off.

I can one handed spec out changes, AI does its thing, and then I review and refine it whenever my kid is asleep for 20 minutes. Or if I’m super tired I’m able to explain changes with horrible english and get results. At the same time, I am following a source control and code review process that I’ve used in large teams. I’ve even been leaving comments on PRs where AI contributes and I’m the only dev in the codebase.

I wouldn’t call this vibe coding— however vibe coding could be a subset of this type of work. I think async coding is a good description, but bad because of what it means as a software concept (which is mentioned). Maybe AI-delegation?
