I started doing it as soon as ChatGPT 3.5 was out. “Given this file tree and this method signature, implement the method”. The context was only 8k so you had to function by function. About two editor screens worth at a time.
Using an LLM to code isn't the same as vibe coding. Vibe coding, as originally coined, is not caring at all about the code or looking at the code. It was coined specifically to differentiate it from the type of AI-assisted coding you're talking about.
It's used more broadly now, but still to refer to the opposite end of the spectrum of AI-assisted coding to what you described.
Yeah, I've been working with LLMs since openai released that first model. What I'm doing today is VASTLY different than anything we thought possible back then, so I wouldn't call it "vibe coding"
