alt Hacker News> ... vibe insulting ...
Modern lingo like this seems so unthoughtful to me. I am not old by any metric, but I feel so separated when I read things like this. I wanted to call it stupid but I suppose it's more pleasing to 15 to 20 year olds?

Unthoughtful towards whom? The machine..?
It's not. edit: Not more pleasant.
Eh, one's ability to communicate concisely and precisely has long (forever?) been limited by one's audience.
Only a fairly small set of readers or listeners will appreciate and understand the differences in meaning between, say, "strange", "odd", and "weird" (dare we essay "queer" in its traditional sense, for a general audience? No, we dare not)—for the rest they're perfect synonyms. That goes for many other sets of words.
Poor literacy is the norm, adjust to it or be perpetually frustrated.
The way language is eroding is very indicative of our overall social and cultural decay.
No need to feel that way, just like a technical term you're not familiar with you google it and move on. It's nothing to do with age, people just seem to delight in creating new terms that aren't very helpful for their own edification.
Language changes. Keep up. It’s important so you don’t become isolated and suffer cognitive decline.
It's just a pun on vibe coding, which is already a dumb term by itself. It's not that deep.
