You could add your own instead, explaining how things work?

Sure, but then it would not be vibecoding.

- sgammon 10mo agoAI assisted coding/engineering becomes "vibe coding" when you decide to abdicate any understanding of what you are building, instead focusing only on the outcome
- cbsmith 10mo agoThis feels like a silly semantics argument, but how is the outcome not what you are building?
- the_af 10mo agoVibe-coding as originally defined (by Karpathy?) implied not reading the code at all, just trying it and pasting back any error codes; repeat ad infinitum until it works or you give up. Now the term has evolved into "using AI in coding" (usually with a hint of non rigor/casualness), but that's not what it originally meant.
