| I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks "Vibe CLI" sounds like an unserious tool. I use Claude Code a lot and little of it is what I would consider Vibe Coding. |

| They're looking for free publicity. "This French company launched a tool that lets you 'vibe' an application into being. Programmers outraged!" |

| Using LLM's to write code is inherently best for unserious work. |

| Agree, but that's just the term for any LLM-assisted development now. Even the Gemini 3 announcement page had some bit like "best model for vibe coding". |

| If you’re letting Claude write code you’re vibe coding |

| ▲ | andai 18 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | So people have different definitions of the word, but originally Vibe Coding meant "don't even look at the code". If you're actually making sure it's legit, it's not vibe coding anymore. It's just... Backseat Coding? ;) There's a level below that I call Power Coding (like power armor) where you're using a very fast model interactively to make many very small edits. So you're still doing the conceptual work of programming, but outsourcing the plumbing (LLM handles details of syntax and stdlib). | | |
| ▲ | HarHarVeryFunny 15 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Peer coding? Maybe common usage is shifting, but Karpathy's "vibe coding" was definitely meant to be a never look at the code, just feel the AI vibes thing. | |
| ▲ | isodev 14 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I know tech bros like to come up with fancy words to make trivial things sounds fancy but as long as it’s a slop out process, it’s vibe coding. If you’re fixing what a bot spits out, should be a different word … something painful that could’ve been avoided? Also, we’re both “people in tech”, we know LLMs can’t conceptualise beyond finding the closest collection of tokens rhyming with your prompt/code. Doesn’t mean it’s good or even correct. So that’s why it’s vibe coding. | |

| ▲ | NitpickLawyer 18 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The original definition was very different. The main thing with vibe coding is that you don't care about the code. You don't even look at the code. You prompt, test that you got what you wanted, and move on. You can absolutely use cc to vibe code. But you can also use it to ... code based on prompts. Or specs. Or docs. Or whatever else. The difference is if you want / care to look at the code or not. | |
| ▲ | sunaookami 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | No, that's not the definition of "vibe coding". Vibe coding is letting the model do whatever without reviewing it and not understanding the architecture. This was the original definition and still is. | |
| ▲ | tomashubelbauer 17 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It sure doesn't feel like it given how closely I have to babysit Claude Code lest I don't recognize the code after Claude Code is done with it when left to its own devices for a minute. | | | |
