## Domain 1: Experimental & Low-Quality Approaches

### Vibe Coding

**Authority Rank: 1** | **Perception: Negative**

**Sources:**
1. **Andrej Karpathy** (OpenAI co-founder, Tesla AI Director) — Wikipedia, Feb 2025
2. **Collins English Dictionary** — Word of the Year 2025
3. **SonarSource** (Code Quality Platform) — code quality analysis

**Description:**
Term coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, quickly became cultural phenomenon — Collins English Dictionary named it Word of Year 2025. Approach where developer describes task in natural language, AI generates code, but key distinction: **developer does NOT review code**, only looks at execution results.

Simon Willison quote: "If LLM wrote every line of your code, but you reviewed, tested and understood it all — that's not vibe coding, that's using LLM as typing assistant". Key characteristic: accepting AI-generated code without understanding it.

Critics point to lack of accountability, maintainability problems, increased security vulnerability risk. May 2025: Swedish app Lovable (using vibe coding) had security vulnerabilities in 170 of 1,645 created web apps. Fast Company September 2025 reported "vibe coding hangover" — senior engineers cite "development hell" working with such code.

Suitable for "throwaway weekend projects" as Karpathy originally intended, but risky for production systems.

## Domain 2: Enterprise & Production-Grade Methodologies

### AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC)

**Authority Rank: 1** | **Perception: Positive - Enterprise**

**Sources:**
1. **AWS** — Raja SP, Principal Solutions Architect, July 2025
2. **Amazon Q Developer & Kiro** — official AWS platform

**Description:**
Presented by AWS July 2025 as transformative enterprise methodology. Raja SP created AI-DLC with team after working with 100+ large customers.

AI as **central collaborator** throughout SDLC with two dimensions:
1. **AI-Powered Execution with Human Oversight** — AI creates detailed work plans, actively requests clarifications, defers critical decisions to humans
2. **Dynamic Team Collaboration** — while AI handles routine tasks, teams unite for real-time problem solving

**Three phases:** Inception (Mob Elaboration), Construction (Mob Construction), Operations

**Terminology:** "sprints" → "bolts" (hours/days instead of weeks); Epics → Units of Work

2. **/specify** — create specification from high-level prompt
3. **/plan** — technical planning based on specification
4. **/tasks** — break down into manageable phased parts

**Three interpretations:** Spec-first, Spec-anchored, Spec-as-source

**Tools:** Amazon Kiro, GitHub Spec Kit, Tessl Framework
