I still hate the "vibe" terminology.
What I would have liked it to mean: While coding, put on some music, and zone out to coding.
What it means now: Prompt an AI to generate working code and solutions.
I don't get where the "vibing" comes in. I guess you don't have to think about the technical details? And that's vibing? Maybe it's just unfamiliarity and lack of practice, but poking the AI via prompting and thinking about how you can influence it better doesn't feel like you could zone in to or "vibe".
Maybe it's about letting go of reasoning and just going for it? Vibing in the sense of going with the flow?
It's not the first terminology I find unfitting. I'm trying to accept that it is what it is, and that it just is what "we collectively" have decided to call it (or ran with).
I assume the term is referring to the person knowing only the vibes of the program they want to code rather than comprehending the details of what it needs to do.
