- bigyabai 2y agoI don't think "vibe coding" deserves a better name.

- handfuloflight 2y agoIt can only get worse.
- reverendsteveii 2y agonope. why should people put more care into the name than into the product the process actually creates?
- UmYeahNo 2y agoVibe Copy-and-Pasting?
- fabianholzer 2y agoSloppy pasta
- jsheard 2y ago"Better" could mean two very different things here depending on whether you think vibe coding is a good idea or not.
- janmarsal 2y agoI thought the whole point was to give it as cringy name as possible to discourage people from using AI and instead learn to program properly. It was called prompt engineering before but I suppose it didn't sound discouraging enough.
- halosghost 2y agoBroadside coding? It appropriately invokes the scattershot nature of generative tooling (“this code couldn't parse the broadside of a barn”) and the violent and malicious nature of the ones in-control of such things (“I stumbled on an indie site! Bring the broadside to bear! All scrapers, free-fire!”)… All the best, -HG
- Finnucane 2y agoButt-plug coding?
- jethronethro 2y agoBarf coding?
- tboyd47 2y agoWhy? I think it sounds cool. Are you embarrassed that it doesn't sound "corporate" enough?
- Bluestein 2y agoPS. The existence itself of a name not containing "AI" (itself) is a telltale sign of AI becoming "normalized" (ie. "commonplace" ...)
- krapp 2y agoNo, that isn't how language works. Besides, we already have to take "enshittification" seriously as a technical term of art, I don't see why "vibe coding" should be improved upon.
