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.

We could revive the old CASE acronym (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_software_engine...). ;)

SWITCH: SoftWare Implementation Through Computer & Human

BASE: Brain And Silicon Engineering

CLASS: Computer/Llm-Assisted Software Specification

STRUCT: Scripting Through Recurrent User/Computer Teamup

ELSE: Electronically Leveraged Software Engineering

VOID: Very Obvious Intelligence Deficit

Okay maybe not that last one
