What you're describing is not vibe coding. I realize some people call anything with an LLM generating code "vibe coding" but it's not and I'm going to die on this hill.
1 it's not the meaning Karpathy used originally, which was for creating software through prompts WITHOUT looking at the source code
2 it's not the meaning people outside programming circles mean, either, which is identical to Karpathy's original definition
the title of the article is talking about 2 and is completely correct.
YOU, on the other hand, are talking about an upgrade to IntelliSense. Use a different term. You're describing regular programming, with a new IDE tool.
If it's not going to replace programmers and allow regular people to create software without looking at the code, it's not vibe coding. Full stop.
- JimDabell 1y agoAmen. The difference is vast when it comes to discussions like this. If you’re talking about AI-assisted development, then an AI agent being able to do 80% of the work is a fantastic win. The developer can pick up the remaining 20% and come out massively ahead. If you’re talking about vibe-coding, then an AI agent being able to do 80% of the work is useless. What’s a non-developer going to do with something that still has 20% of the development left to do? It’s not 80% useful, it’s 0% useful.
