Great article, though I'm still reading it as it's a mammoth read!

A side note: as it's been painfully pointed out to me, "vibe coding" means not reading the code (ever!). We need a term for coding with LLMs exclusively, but also reviewing the code they output at each step.

Prompt coding or just prompting

"Lets prompt up a new microservice for this"

"What have you been prompting lately?"

"Looking at commits, prompt coding is now 50% of your output. Have a raise"

What is the term for getting the ick from reading?
