# 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

# 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.

|
|-------------|-------------|--------|
|
|
| Architecture-First AI Development | Design patterns and system architecture before AI implementation | Needs research |
|

| Prompt-Driven Development | Structured prompt engineering as development methodology | Needs research |
|
|
| Copy-pasting from AI chatbot | Manual workflow — baseline to compare other methods against | Needs research |
