vibe coding vs AI assisted coding
4/
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.

Another interesting thing is — MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Where software-engineers are creating a type of server. Sort of like a web application server — but it speaks MCP rather than HTTP.
(MCP is just JSON-RPC 2.0 with certain methods communicated over STDIN and STDOUT.)
And, the MCP developer uses an LLM as a type of front-end for their MCP server.
…
That use is NOT Vibe Coding either.
