    if you write a prompt, and see the code and edit it by writing another prompt, you the human wrote that code. you may not have typed the keyboard for each character in the code. but the llm did not write it all for you. this is the same as a pair programmer, 2 authors

      big agree here.

      People dont seem to realize prompt to code is just another interface. Is the human review part that we should care about, did this code get reviewed and reiterated on? Is it fully AI generated and reviewed?

      Those are the important tasks.

      Whoever feels like a better programmer because they write all the terraform files by hand and not use an llm, dislike.

      The difference between Vibe coding and AI-assisted coding. There is a gradation!
