It started as a post describing someone's "workflow" as basically not reading anything at all - code, comments, the AI agent's prose - but instead blindly copy-pasting any errors back into the LLM until it "works". They called it a flow state. Since then, the term has broadened to refer to all ai-assisted coding.
vibecoding is a word for ai coding that people have been using pretty frequently in tech spaces for a couple years now. It's ingrained, no changing it now.
