Vibe coding does not mean “using AI tools to help write code”. It means “generating code with AI without caring about the code that is produced”. See Not all AI-assisted …

I fear it may be too late for these authors and publishers to fix their embarrassing mistakes: they’ve already designed the cover art! I’d like the publishers and authors responsible to at least understand how much potential value—in terms of both helping out more people and making more money—they have left on the table because they didn’t read all the way to the end of the tweet.
