  • Tell HN: I use AI to help me code, but I don't want to be called a "vibe coder"
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 11 May 2025
    I've been a software developer for over 8 years and recently started using AI to help me code.

    The OSS project I'm currently working on (Kilo Code [1]) basically also attracts the same type of people: People with software dev. experience who like to use AI to help them do things they already know, just faster.

    They also don't want to be called "vibe coders". A few days ago, I created a question on a subreddit called "ChatGPTCoding" (which you'd expect to be filled with "vibe coders")[2], asking people if they do "vibe coding" or "AI assisted coding".

    Surprisingly, almost NOBODY replies that they do "vibe coding". One guy described vibe coding as "using AI while not having a clue what you're doing."

    Am I the only one who wants to be using AI to help me code/design/etc., but I don't want to put under the umbrella of a "vibe coder"?

    If yes, is there a better phrase to distinguish ourselves from the "vibe" folks out there?

    I learned about your project from your comment on the Windsurf post but wanted to suggest that you plug your URL anytime you plug the project since it can make the difference between someone "adding it to their eventual list" versus "open in new tab, read, enjoy, engage"
