EmDash: A spiritual successor to WordPress and plugin security

I started calling it LLM assisted coding. If you know what you’re doing but use LLMs to do tedious stuff and educate yourself on the unfamiliar bits you can move quite fast. The term vibe coding does not do that process justice imho.

Well that's because actual vibe coding is a completely separate thing from "LLM assisted coding, know what you’re doing but use LLMs to do tedious stuff".

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "started calling it", but vibe coding doesn't need a new name, it needs people to be clear about what they mean.

I think the jury is still out on this one, meaning people have different meanings when using the term "vibe coding".

OP says "vibe-coded months long project", imho that is not vibe coding? I'd say it's vibe coding if op does not know the programming language and just let the LLM write everything. This does not sound like it.

Well, it's a spectrum indeed, as everything is. As soon as we drawn lines the discussion start on where to draw them exactly. So it's, left to right:

One shotting --- vibe coding --- vybrid coding --- stack overflow assisted programming --- programming

Do we need any extra dimensions perhaps?
