    There are a bunch of tools that are basically a text editor hooked up to an LLM. So you use natural language to prompt the software to write code for you.

      And to add to this, you don’t actually do any coding yourself. Just using something to help with boilerplate code isn’t usually counted.

      Although, I’m wondering from this Reddit r/vibecoding thread if that’s a Lemmy-specific definition. Most of the people in it seem to be using LLMs in a sane way and are telling OP this isn’t.
