"Vibe coding" implies it's newbies throwing prompts and hoping some of them stick.

For the experienced lot of us, I've heard many call it "hyper engineering"

I put a lot of thought in to my prompts. I can code, definitely not as good as the AI or people here on HN; it's something I always enjoyed doing to tinker with things.

The AI agent in Cursor with Gemini (I'm semi-new to all of this) is legit.

I can try things out and see for myself and get new ideas for things. Mostly I just ask it to do things, it does it; for specific things I just highlight it in the editor and say "Do it this way instead" or "for every entry in the loop, add to variable global_var only if the string matches ./cfg/strings.json" I _KNOW_ I can code that.

But I like my little clippy.
