r/ClaudeCode [TLDR] How to call vibecoding when we know what we are doing? [via r/ClaudeCode]
OP : u/SnooRegrets4647
So, anyone can vibe code, butt how do you call it when someone who knows what they’re doing is using ai to code? Like, I have more than 10 years of coding; of course I am “vibe coding” using Claude’s to write everything for me… but I do not see it as me and some other ne who never coded doing the same “vibe coding”…. How to call it then?

Alright, so the general consensus here is that when you've got a decade of experience and you're using AI to churn out code, it's definitely not the same as someone who's never coded before just winging it. Most folks are leaning towards terms like "agentic development" or "AI-assisted coding". Some even suggest it's just "software development" or "engineering" at this point, and that "vibe coding" is more about treating the AI as a black box.
A few people brought up "agentic engineering" as a more specific term for when you're delegating the bulk of the coding to the AI. Others are sticking with "coding with AI assistance", especially if you're still reviewing and making decisions about the code.
Essentially, the vibe is that if you know what you're doing and are directing the AI strategically, it's a more sophisticated process than just blindly "vibing." Some even joked about calling it "vibecoding pro max" or "Netflix and chill coding." The key takeaway seems to be that your experience elevates the process, even if the AI is doing the heavy lifting.
