# 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](assets/beyond-vibe-coding/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](assets/beyond-vibe-coding/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
**Validated:** 2026-01-23
**Validator:** @validator
**Verdict:** PASS (after revisions)

- 4 claims fully verified: Senior/junior AI usage, 76% adoption, 27% bans, Ralph Loop virality
- 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.
