Disagree, I think vibe coders should become synonymous with no-code and continue to be somewhat of a pejorative.

I don't like the term vibe engineer, but do agree there needs to be a term to signifiy the difference.

It's also possible in the future just being called a developer/engineer already implies you use coding agents and the people who do it "by hand" will not be the norm.

Seems you can't go anywhere these days without walking into an argument between a descriptivist and a prescriptivist.
Yes, it's not like the ole days when nobody argued semantics
Doesn’t need to be a pejorative. Just a different category. Unless you require your daily dose of feeling superior to others of course
