Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu suggests new term to describe the word that has become one of the biggest 'headache' of engineers

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu proposed "AI-assisted Code Engineering" (ACE) as a replacement for the term "vibe-coding." He argued that ACE better reflects the discipline required in software development, emphasizing that AI tools enhance, rather than replace, experienced engineers. This shift highlights concerns about maintaining engineering rigor amidst AI's growing role in coding.
