   does this need to say “professional vibe coding” or “vibe coding at work” or do we understand it without those qualifiers

   @zachleat I’m still baffled as to why people made a long-tweet-brain-fart into a “new”discipline. At least “prompt engineering” has had more time to make its case as a legitimate, sort of, skill set, but the vibe coding tweet is literally 4 months old and there are already online courses and O’Reilly books about it. I think people have jumped the shark with this one.
