        I totally asked Claude what vibe coding was. Programmers that code and use AI to help. Got it.

          My understanding of vibe coding is that it’s using AI to write code without reviewing the code, because the person doing the “vibe coding” isn’t actually a programmer and thus aren’t capable of actually reviewing code. That’s why a senior developer using an LLM wouldn’t be considered “vibe coding”, for example.

            Yup.

            Well… it’s still plausible that a senior developer could still be vibe coding. We’d hope they not though.

            And the other way too… can use an LLM and not be doing vibe coding. Like me (not considered a “senior developer”), making fin, with extensive consultations with several LLM, I insist is not vibe coded. https://lemmy.wtf/post/26550037

            Takes a lot of discipline to not succumb to just blindly letting the machine do it, not reviewing nor learning the code; Takes discipline to keep using it as a tool to expedite your learning. Too easy a lure to fall for, the illusion of its competence and convenience.

            “We believe when you let a machine do the work of a man, you take something away from the man.” (or words to that effect), from one of the Star Trek TNG movies.
