Back in my day, we called that pseudocode. It's code-like, but not in any actual programming language that you could compile from.

It's more of a set of ideas of how to accomplish something, than it is actually coding.

The fun part is, that pseudo code can be adapted to any actual programming language.

Idk why everyone is crazy about vibes all of a sudden.... But sure.

is it not making someone fix generated project is a massive work rather than building smething from the ground up?

I had a project where I was supposed to clean up a generated 3D model. It has messed up topology, some missing parts, unintelligible shapes. It made me depressed cleaning it up.

few of them was simple enough for me to rebuild the mesh from the ground up following the shape, as if I'm retopologizing. But the more complex ones have that unintelligible shapes that I can't figure what that is or the flow of the topology.

If I was given more time & pay I could rebuild all of that my own way so I understand every vertices exist in the meshes. But oh well that contradicts their need of quick & cheap.

Can someone tell me what vibe coding is?

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.

I just use it to whip up a mockup, like a GUI with certain usability features. I'm the one who has to work with highly specific, proprietary software and usability is total ass. But it's difficult to put this into words that the dev is willing to read through. So I'd rather show it. But that's about it.
