> In ??? coding, the developer specifies code changes that must be made, such as adding a feature, modifying an existing function, or removing unused logic. The AI delivers the complete set of changes to the codebase, and the developer reviews it at the code level. Any corrections are given again as updates to the code, and the cycle repeats until the code aligns.
Yes
> If so, I've most seen the latter be called AI pair-programming or AI-assisted coding.
I specifically considered both terms and am not a fan
* "pair-programming" is something that involves two people paying attention while writing code, and in this case, i'm not looking at the screen while the AI system writes code
* "AI-assisted coding" is generally anchored to copilots/IDE style agents where people are actively writing code, and an AI assists them.
I totally hear you on conflating async. However, I think the appropriate term would clearly indicate that this happens without actively watching the AI write code. Unfortunately I think other terms like "background" may also be confusing for similar reasons.
