I think all arguments pro and against AI assistants for coding should include a preface that describes the programing language, the domain of the app, the model being used and the chosen interface for interacting with the assistant.

Otherwise everyone's just talking past each other.

That’s probably asking for too much but I agree.

Here are some terms/aspects of LLMs that people _regularly_ use, yet 10 people have 10 definitions of what it means (to them)

- Vibe Coding

- Boilerplate

- Copilot

- Cursor/Aider/Claude Code/Codex/OpenHands/etc

- LLM Autocomplete and/or inline code suggestion

- LLM Agent

I’m happy to explain or expand on any of those if it’s not clear what I mean.
