# 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) for complete strategic context, target reader analysis, content requirements, and success criteria.
|
|
|
|
**Quick Summary:**
|
|
- **Goal:** Fight "AI is for juniors" stigma with data-backed professional methodologies survey
|
|
- **Angle:** Seniors use AI MORE than juniors (33% vs 13%) — methodology separates pros from beginners
|
|
- **Format:** Survey of 6 methodologies with credentials, practitioner insights, decision framework
|
|
- **Target:** 2,500-3,500 words, thought leadership + long-tail SEO

# Outline
|
|
|
|
See [outline.md](assets/beyond-vibe-coding/outline.md) for complete article structure.
|
|
|
|
**Tone:** "Here's what exists and here's what I actually do" — landscape survey through practitioner's lens, not prescriptive guide
|
|
|
|
**Structure:**
|
|
- Introduction (400w) — Hook with vibe coding, establish legitimacy question
|
|
- 6 Methodology sections (400-500w each) — Credentials block, description, Henry's experience (integrated naturally)
|
|
- Conclusion (450w) — Landscape overview, legitimacy validation with stats, what I use, community invitation
|
|
|
|
**Total:** ~2,800 words
|
|
**Code examples:** 3 (CLAUDE.md spec, .claude/settings.json, TDD test)
