Idea

Source: Perplexity research on AI-assisted development terminology (Jan 2026)

Concept: Overview article covering AI coding methodologies landscape. Position vibe coding (Collins Word of Year 2025) as entry point, then survey professional approaches: Spec-Driven Development, Agentic Coding, AI Pair Programming, HITL, TDD+AI.

Goal: Establish Henry's expertise in AI-assisted development. Second article for Dev.to account warmup.

Angle: Survey + practitioner perspective (via interview with Oleg)


Brief

See brief.md

Quick Summary:

  • Goal: Fight "AI is for juniors" stigma with data-backed professional methodologies survey
  • Angle: Seniors use AI MORE than juniors — methodology separates pros from beginners
  • Format: Survey of 6 methodologies with credentials, practitioner insights
  • Target: 2,500-3,500 words, thought leadership + long-tail SEO

Outline

See outline.md

Tone: "Here's what exists and here's what I actually do" — landscape survey through practitioner's lens, not prescriptive guide


Validation Results

  • Security vulnerabilities claim updated with source citations
  • Removed false claims: "359x growth" for SDD, "90% Fortune 100 Copilot adoption"
  • Minor stat correction: "33%" → "about a third"

Review Chat

2026-02-02 @user + @editor — Part 1 Publication

Published: https://dev.to/h1gbosn/what-is-vibe-coding-in-2026-one-year-from-karpathys-tweet-5f43

Human edits before publication:

  • Removed H1 title (dev.to handles separately)
  • "started it all" → "started it" (more measured)
  • Removed "(or 'vibecoding' as some write it)"
  • Added infographic: "Vibe Coding DO and DON'T"

Voice concern: Article became more formal after SEO optimization. Need to restore Henry's personal voice in Parts 2-3.
