O'Reilly Proposes 'AI-Driven Development' as the Unified Name for AI Coding
rseroter · x · 2026-08-05
With the rise of AI-assisted programming, the industry has seen a clutter of terms like vibe coding, loop engineering, and agentic engineering. A recent O'Reilly article points out that this naming confusion reflects a deeper lack of precision in defining AI coding workflows.
The author argues that 'vibe coding' only accurately describes a specific way of interacting with AI and shouldn't be overgeneralized. The article advocates for adopting AI-driven development (AIDD) as the unifying term, aligning with established software engineering paradigms like test-driven development (TDD).
