Coding with plan mode is still vibe coding. No-one outside HN calls it things like "agentic engineering" or whatever. Everyone just says they are vibe coding regardless of how hands on they are.

Whether you use plan mode or not is orthogonal to whether or not you're vibe coding. "Vibe coding" means that you don't read or edit the code; you are running the software and iterating on vibes alone. That's the meaning since the original (and very recent!) coinage and hasn't changed.
If you're reading and editing the code, you're not vibe coding. If you're not reading and editing the code, you're probably vibe coding even if you feel "hands on".
Doesn't matter and it has changed. To most devs vibe coding is when you let AI write your code.
