I'm impressed that this person has been vibecoding longer than vibecoding has been a thing. A real trailblazer!

GitHub copilot was released in 2021, and Cursor was released around October 2023[0].

At the earliest, "vibecoding" was only possible with Claude 3.5, released July 2024 ... maaaybe Claude 3, released in March of that year...

It's worth mentioning that even today, Copilot is an underwhelming-to-the-point-obstructing kind of product. Microsoft sent salespeople and instructors to my job, all for naught. Copilot is a great example of how product > everything, and if you don't have a good product... well...

Github copilot used to only be in line completion. That is not vibe coding.

Early cursor was just integrated chat and code completion. No agents.

was github copilot LLM based in 2021? I thought the first version was something more rudimentary

It seems the term has been introduced by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, so yes, but very often, people say "vibe coding" when they mean "heavily (or totally) LLM-assisted coding", which is not synonymous, but sounds better to them.
