alt Hacker News> I suspect it's less of an undertaking than you may think... having an existing codebase you can reference prevents a lot of the problems you have with vibecoding.
That's because it's not vibe coding - stingraycharles doesn't seem to understand what vibe coding is. Vibe coding was defined here https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383
> There's a new kind of coding I call “vibe coding”, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.
This is very far from Anthropic's migration plans.

You are right but recently, vibe coding has become a demeaning term for AI assisted code by anti-AI people. It’s interesting seeing how words evolve very quickly on the internet as they spread to different demographics.
That is one person's definition of vibe coding, not "the definition" of vibe coding. Words have multiple meanings.
"Vibe coding" = "let Dario take the wheel" as ThePrimeagen puts it.
Yeah, it's a distinction worth making, and the language for making it kind of sucks. Vibe coding means "AI does the whole thing", or "I use tab autocomplete" depending on who you ask. It's not a very useful term anymore, we need better ones.
My benchmark is basically, "are you letting the AI drive."
In this case, an AI appears to have written the migration guide...
