    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”.

        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.
