I dislike the name "vibe coding". I would call it "AI programming" or "programming with natural language and an AI agent" or anything other than "vibe" anything.

I'm not giving it vibes, I'm giving it specifications.

So much of our culture and society seems to be aimed at appealing to 12 year olds.

Gen X calls it "in flow". The appeal with vibe coding is it's one of the few ways you can be in flow when programming.
LLM Assisted Programming, LAP. But I'd rather call it leap coding, because that's how it feels, like a quantum leap.
