I really appreciate all of his message -- responsibility and actual engineering are critical and can't be (deceptively) lost even though Pull Request and CI/CD workflows exist. I hate the term vibe-coding because it seems flippant, and I've leaned into LLM-assistance to frame it better.

I consider vibe coding and LLM-assistance to be distinctively separate things.

I am vibe coding, if I needed x, I lay that out task with any degree of specificity, and ask for the whole result. Maybe it’s good, I gave the LLM a lot of rope to hang me.

I am using an LLM for assistance if I need something like this file renamed, and all its functions renamed to match, and all the project meta to change, and every comment that mentions the old name to be updated. There is an objectively correct result.

It’s a matter of scope.
