      Has the general discourse settled on a proper epithet for this new version?

      “vibe coders” doesn’t feel derogatory enough.

        Agreed, they’re getting off light. I’ve worked with people who felt the code, but werent always able to communicate their ideas. I’d say theyd fit the idea of vibe coding without ai.

        The concept is taken, and doesn’t describe the intent well. How about “pseudocoders”.

          Yes. The original post that coined the term was using “vibe coding” to indicate how problematic it is to build software by generating code based on vague prompts.

          But a lot of people didn’t read the entire post and just thought the term sounded cool and used it as if it was positive thing.

          Now we’re seeing the negative impacts of vibe coding, just as the original post predicted. So it started as derogatory, somehow became something positive, but it’s going back to being derogatory again.

              Nah, it’s still a thing unfortunately. There will have to be a bunch of business go bankrupt because of it before managers start to think it’s a bad idea.

          My point entirely. It’ll probably stick though. Ah well, I’m sure script kiddies were called far more derogatory things that didn’t stick either.

    This could be vibe coding, or just an intern “doing the web site”.

    Neither should have write access to production code.

      What!? It’s more user friendly this way. No need to make the user switch to a totally different device when you can tell them right here!

      When I first added 2fa to page, I had a bug and made it do that to compare the values.

      production or test, it’s likely debug code.

    This could also be a funny translation issue.

    My bank sends a text message to me with the first code and a second code I enter.

    They tell me the first code in a similar way so I can verify they sent it to me, then I enter the other code in the text.
