The vibe coding thing is a meme that originated in what devs at Microsoft said about how they develop while using AI, if I recall correctly. So vibe-coding has become synonymous with using AI to write the majority of your code.

    "The software developer describes a project or task in a prompt to a large language model (LLM), which generates source code automatically. Vibe coding typically involves accepting AI-generated code without reviewing it, instead relying on results and follow-up prompts to guide changes." A.I. written code. Software devs normally check the code for bugs not just accepting whatever code is thrown at them with no checks. It is why real developers are making money fixing the A.I. bullshit code.

    Right. Actual vibe coding is rare in real development. Especially large companies. You’d know this if you were a developer. But it’s much more fun to complain about AI with such… “confidence.”

    So you're an AI shill, interesting. Have you ever considered you may not be very smart?

    I’m only teasing people who don’t know what AI is.

    Nah, you're just making yourself look like an ignorant, stubborn and obtuse douche.

    lol you wish. You don't know how many vibecoded bullshit PRs I have to review on a daily basis. AI is undeniably making developers worse.

    That’s because your developers don’t give a shit. It’s not because they’re worse! It’s because they’re just waiting to get laid off. Most of them probably want to get laid off. And if you are reviewing PR‘s and you can’t control them using AI, you’re part of the problem.

    Even your strawman is an idiot, developers that don't give a shit and want to get laid off are objectively worse than developers that give a shit and want to do their job well.

    Yes, bad developers that want to get fired are worse than good developers like me that want to do a good job. Except I'm not a developer, but the logic applies to all jobs.

    I can tell you’re not a developer.

    Yes. By your opinions, not your confession. So, why should I listen to your uneducated opinion on something you admit to knowing nothing about?

    Actually the only opinion I gave, that someone who wants to do a good job is better than someone who doesn't want to do a good job, is extremely well-informed and logically unassailable. Try it, just try and assail that shit, you can't do it. Better luck next time!

    I'm confused why you linked a Wiki article that reiterates almost exactly what I said? Think the only difference is that it was originally coined by the dude who helped start OpenAI.

    And no, most major dev teams aren't "vibe coding," but that's where it becomes a meme. People use it as an insult as well for shit code.

    Regardless, your main argument here that "real devs aren't vibe coding," is irrelevant, as the people in the original article don't seem to be competent devs. It's very possible they used AI-slop code; but, even if they didn't, they did a piss-poor job so it might as well be insulted as such.
