PSA: Do not use term "vibe coding"

... because it is hopelessly vague and useless.What does it mean? "Forget that the code even exists AND fully give in to the vibes"? What vibes? How are vibes defined? Are one supposed to dance freestyle on a flat plain? This ain't agentic engineering, that's for sure.It seems the original coinage was connected to a thought of an AI-led WYSIWYG environment; perhaps connected to a new type of library repository, and managed under a novel source code control system that may or may not be a hard fork of Git. This is much closer to agentic management and graph engineering, but that was not the road the other term took later.And it certainly doesn't matter now. The best models now are good at doing everything from scratch, uncannily and frighteningly good. So good that there is now a risk of corporate AI budgets no longer growing simply because there won't be anything left to automate in a year or two, tanking the valuation of many decacorn startups and setting up very precarious times ahead.---Just my thoughts.I needed to publish myself.
