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.

vibe coding vs AI assisted coding

I tried this myself on a large, complex code base I was unfamiliar with — to try to get that first-hand experience so that I could have an informed opinion. I actually found that use-case useful.

It sped up hours or days of tedious work.

…

I can see how software-engineers would find this particular activity useful — to ask an LLM questions about large, complex, unfamiliar code base.
