One tiny thing that I think OP is missing is the fact that the phrase can also perfectly double as mockery (even if the wider industry hasn't picked up on that yet). Seriously, the fact that the vibe coder literally isn't relying on anything practical whatsoever is right there in the name.
It's like how "crypto bro" used to be a badge of honor but is now usually considered an insult. No change to the term was necessary thanks to how dumb it already sounded.
My suspicion is that "vibe coding" will eventually become an insult, too, thanks to the nature of the phrase.
And you all can help me start this trend!
- kylebenzle 1y agoCrypto bro was a stupid insult that people who are jealous used from day one.
- sigwinch 1y agoWell, crypto bros are second adopters. The early adopters are quiet, reserved types.
- sigwinch 1y agoIt’ll fit with the other double-edged adjectives of our time. Plastic, for example.
- Brian_K_White 1y agoIt's not an insult now? To me it was an obvious pejorative ridicule the very first time I saw it. Like vibe heart surgeon. It never had any other meaning to me. Sure someone doing it thinks it's fine, but they are by definition, well let's say not to be admired. If someone hates the term because it makes them feel bad, I can only say "correct".
