'Vibe Coding' Has Lost Its Meaning: From Midnight Hacks to 500-Hour Agent Projects
chrisalbon · x · 2026-10-19
chrisalbon points out the semantic drift of "vibe coding": it was coined for something you whipped up at midnight after three beers, but now means anything written mostly by an agent. That makes it feel wrong to say "I've spent over 500 hours vibecoding this complex piece of software" — serious engineering work described with a term that implies carelessness. The observation resonated widely as a commentary on术语滥用 in the AI era.
