Re:The cult of vibe coding is insane on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @03:36AM (#47671892)
You're right that it's a spectrum. Just like anything else, you can be 'mostly' vibe coding or 'somewhat' vibe coding. But the threshold where it stops being vibe coding isn't entirely subjective.

If you are trusting the AI's logic and primarily verifying the output (the app runs, the button works, the vibes are right), you are vibe coding. If you are reading the diffs, you are transitioning back toward engineering. Any sincere developer knows where they are sitting on that spectrum.
