The term vibe coding actually originated from a tweet from Andrej Karpathy and so there is actually a sort of definition of the term. He said vibe coding is where you "forget the code exists":

So if you "read the diff" it isn't vibe coding, at least not by Karpathy's definition.

Obviously it's not a "rule" and you can still call it vibe coding if you want to. Maybe the meaning of the term has evolved since his tweet anyway.
