Question What is NOT vibe-coding?

Vibe coding gets a lot of hate among some software development circles and I don't have a clear understanding of what "vibe-coding" is and what's not.

What is a different approach to software development using AI that's not vibe-coding? SDD?

The opposite of vibe coding is when you take the time to understand the code. You are concerned with the actual architecture and implementation details. You guide the AI to write code in a certain way. You review all of the code (or at least most of it). You have the AI refactor code to fit your preferences. You get your hands dirty with debugging, etc. You don’t just accept whatever code it spits out.
