Three years? Vibe coding became a thing roughly 1.5 years ago, around Sonnet 4 release. How would you even compare models from 2-3 years ago to today’s? Is this satire?
Based on this definition, yep, I've been vibe coding since 2023. The products were less sophisticated, and I was copying and pasting one function at a time, but it worked. More important: it was something I couldn't do on my own.
The modern version is that bonafide engineers accept AI-generated code. It's a good thing I'm not a bonafide engineer.
