Personally I refer to that as "agentic coding", and vibe coding (ugh) is agentic coding without even taking even a few moments to minimally look over the code being spat out. I mean good grief, are you really saving that much time?
In my experience, it's better to make the corrections earlier before the LLM diverges too much from the desired intent, then to wait until the very end and then attempt to fix stuff.
- simonw 2y agoI have an almost allergic reaction to the terms "agent" and "agentic" because they are so loosely defined and everyone seems to have different ideas as to what they mean! I use "AI-assisted programming" to mean times where I leaned on an LLM to help me write code, and "vibe coding" for times when I didn't read or review that code at all (usually for prototypes or low-stakes one-off tools)
