Wasn't the original definition of vibe coding asking us to "forget that the code even exists"?

  It was, but annoyingly a lot of people now use "vibe coding" to mean any form of AI-assisted development. It's got to the point where if someone talks about "vibe coding" you have to confirm with them which definition they are using, because otherwise you risk people talking right past each other because they're not actually talking about the same thing.

    > people talking right past each other because they're not actually talking about the same thing. Just like every HN thread about vibe coding!

    Yes, the term isn't universally defined yet. Also, the number of available tools doesn't help here (e.g., my workflow in Cursor and CC differ). My "vibe coding" is probably different than blog post authors' "vibe coding." At my work, we have "AI in dev" meetings to discuss the topic, the variety of opinions resembles comments here, and we try to boil down where the issue is.
