vibe coding vs AI assisted coding

The first thing I did is — I started by paying more attention to how other people are using AI coding tools.

…

One thing I noticed is —

Some users are Vibe Coding —

But, not everyone who uses AI coding tools is Vibe Coding!

Especially the software engineers I looked at who are using AI coding tools. They don't seem to be Vibe Coding — they seem to be using them differently.

vibe coding vs AI assisted coding

For example —

You have a large, complex code base you are unfamiliar with.

You get the LLM to look at it. It gives you a technical summary of it. And, you can ask it questions about the code base.

Note that for this activity, the AI coding tool hasn't actually done any coding — no Vibe Coding, or any other (non- Vibe Coding) coding.
