Claude Code's creator is sick of the phrase 'vibe coding.' Suggest your alternative here.

Nothing wrong with "vibe coding", "prompting", "generating" or the other terms associated with using AI to generate something. If you do proper quality assurance, and assume ownership and accountability it is your piece of work. If not, it's AI slop.

My self-hosted LLM can suggest better names for anything! Subscription fee is only $1m a minute, most answers are returned in about 3 hours, since I can't afford more RAM.

"Call it what you like, you're still going to need us" Code. It's just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn't mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the "no code" rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it. If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won't be too painful to add.

Who gives a flying fuck what terms one asshole is sick of? Fuck him, fuck vibe coding and trying to enforce language that appeals to what "elite" dipshits like.

Script Kiddie is the derogatory term for hackers that download tools and have no idea what they are doing.
