"...I can’t really call “vibe coding”. I didn’t code. I didn’t even look at the code" I thought that was the definition of vibe coding?

Yes, but maybe the author disagrees with the term? I mean, can you even call it "coding" when you don't handle any code?

Sure, you can disagree with it being "coding" or not, but "vibe coding" as used in the general vernacular means exactly what the author did. It's kind of silly to say "I disagree that green is the word that should be applied to the color of plants", it is what the word is. We don't all get to set our own personal definitions

   - As a professional developer, I would find it very frustrating to have to debug someone else's code and also be held responsible for that code.
   
   - As a hobbyist developer, it would bother me that I'm no longer a developer.
These two statements articulate my feelings about LLM-generated code better than I have heretofore been able to do myself.

This. I don't think it is coding although I have only scratched the surface of all this. Right now, it's more like instructing someone/something to code for me.

a bit off-topic, and you've probably already tried this, but if you want a really nerdy way to log qso, try FLE in a text editor: https://github.com/on4kjm/FLEcli

Thank you for the suggestion but yes, I already know it. I've even written a FLE syntax highlighting plugin for vim: https://rz01.org/vim-fle-syntax/ :)
