What Is The Name

Julia Turc is out here trying to rebrand the entire profession because "vibe-coding" apparently isn't professional enough. Her suggestions? "Boomer coding" (for when you actually read documentation), "chewy coding" (code that's hard to digest, naturally), "trad coding" (back to the basics, no frameworks allowed), and "Coding with capital C" (because lowercase is for peasants).

Then Gabor swoops in with the most devastatingly simple reply: "software engineering." You know, the actual name we've been using for decades. It's like watching someone reinvent the wheel and calling it a "circular mobility device" only to have someone point at a tire and say "that."

The real joke here is that we've gotten so deep into meme culture and "vibes" that we forgot we already have a perfectly good name for writing code professionally. Sometimes the best roast is just stating the obvious.
