Can you clarify what you mean by "agent-based" development, "vibe coding" and "maintainable agent systems" here?

(All three of those are terms with very vague definitions, I'm interested in hearing which of those definitions are starting to take root.)

I like the original construction of “Vibe Coding” [0] that I will attempt to make concise:

Vibe Coding is an RECREATIONAL activity where a user and an AI collaborate on creation of some artifact AND the user accepts ALL feedback and suggestions from the AI.

Yeah, I like that definition too: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/19/vibe-coding/
