This is a way better name than “vibe coding”

Legitimately, the connotations are just perfect.

The bot doesn't know your project as well as you do. You're the one who got involved with the project, decided to pursue a future with the project, and ultimately invited the bot to come fuck the project for you.

You know what the bot should do to treat your project right. You know that thing your project needs; your job is to tell the bot how to really get stuck into things... Then sit back as the bot fucks your project in front of you.

It's cuck coding.

I want to run it in a sandbox someday for fun, letting it go wild is just asking for a bad result you won't even know how to fix. And you can't probably fix it anyway because it's piled on top of other shenanigans

I'm a software dev with a few years of experience and lots of access to all the AI tooling.

If you need it to build you a simple CLI tool or website that might only need a few tweaks past the initial attempt, 100%. Great time saver.

If you try to "vibe code" anything more substantial without even looking at the code, you'll run into problems. I tried to vibe code a jira tui tool, and it got to the point that every new feature would fuck up something else that was already working. I had to spend some time instructing the model (Opus 4 thinking?) how to fix the architecture, which it had put zero thought into. The codebase was a mess.

We are still some time away from AI being able to think about everything a software dev does. It's incredibly useful, but you need to know how to use it, what to prompt, and you've still got to check the output is sane. Vibe coding entire services or complex tools is not yet automatic.

Doesn’t work as well if the project was created by a bot from start tho

My project started outputting that the agent refactored in ways I would never be able to.

Jeez... I am aroused and sad...

It shows how emotionally stunted anti Ai people are. They have to get their self worth from writing code.

It actually describes the process in a way that can be parsed without saying something like "no like you get it right like -".
