Comment on Vibe Coding Is Fun–But Vibe Refactoring Pays the Billsparent

Comments

eh terminology happens. I’d argue we shouldn’t be using “AI”, but here we are. I’d prefer encouraging “vibe coding” to mean this over fighting against the wind

But what is "this"? It's just refactoring with an LLM along for the ride! That's increasingly the default assumption when we're coding or refactoring, so the extra "vibe" attached at the front is totally meaningless if it doesn't imply that you're going so fast you're not checking the LLM's work.

But the moment it means two things.

One is ok, the other is risky

One is YMMV the other is bad.
