This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Are we actually going with vibe coding as the name for this behavior? Surely we could introduce an alternative that is more disparaging and more dramatic, like bong-rip coding or shart coding.

I hate the current concept of vibes and take it to mean all appearance no substance all pandering no sincerity, so it feels entirely appropriate to me.

I'm fine with the name. It's a good signifier that shit code has been written.

Naturally, it’s been done before, without ai, and (inevitably, I guess) using rust.
