I don't think it counts as vibe coding, since the author read every line of code and presumably also asked questions about them and looked things up about the meanings of unfamiliar keywords and functions and so on.
It might be spiritually close to vibe coding in some ways because the author wasn't previously a programmer, so this code was never reviewed by a professional or trained developer.
But it was a high-effort project that involved inspecting and trying to understand the code, which isn't what vibe coding is about.
Whatever we want to call it, I think it's awesome! This is a good use of LLMs to help laypeople break into writing code imo, and the result is great.
yeah, I've had a tough time finding the right wording so I've even called it vibe coding since its definitely not at the other end of the spectrum. I think its somewhere in the middle, like a developer version of Ratatouille
its been a nightmare trying to word it... haha. I really do feel like it's something that nobody else is really doing, at least that I have seen. but if I really think about, why would anyone do this? hahaha
I suspect that this sort of design wouldn't come up a lot, but do you think about the difference between this experience and the experience of designing something where you used a workflow that you were familiar with? Or put another way, if you did this again, would it go faster or would it take the same amount of time?
It would definitely go faster based on a few things. One being that these models are continually improving - an ungodly amount of time was spent trying to connect the dots between what I was seeing and what the agent was seeing/understanding.
But aside from that, I would still say yes. I've learned a lot (it's just hard to put into words when I'm missing some of the technical language) and I've gained so much confidence in even dealing with code.
I've actually started doing some work for someone after they saw my site on Reddit, which I could never have done before. It involves Docker, a bit of Python, and working on a codebase with multiple contributors. It's both exciting and terrifying at the same time.

I think you did a good job describing how you built this! There just isn't a cute little neologism that perfectly describes it in one or two words.
He said it took months, so perhaps we need to coin a new term for it. Maybe AI crawling?

"vibe designed"?
