Title: Andrew Ng Says Vibe Coding is a Bad Name For a Very Real and
Exhausting Job

Link: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/06/0...

An anonymous reader shares a report: Vibe coding might sound chill, but
Andrew Ng thinks the name is unfortunate. The Stanford professor and former
Google Brain scientist said the term misleads people into imagining engineers
just "go with the vibes" when using AI tools to write code. "It's unfortunate
that that's called vibe coding," Ng said at a firechat chat in May at
conference LangChain Interrupt. "It's misleading a lot of people into
thinking, just go with the vibes, you know -- accept this, reject that." In
reality, coding with AI is "a deeply intellectual exercise," he said. "When
I'm coding for a day with AI coding assistance, I'm frankly exhausted by the
end of the day." Despite his gripe with the name, Ng is bullish on AI-
assisted coding. He said it's "fantastic" that developers can now write
software faster with these tools, sometimes while "barely looking at the
code."
