Graham Dumpleton drew a line between AI-produced and AI-designed code.

Simon Willison flagged wrapture on August 31, Dumpleton's Python library for wrapping any function or method so all access can be traced or overridden, positioned as an alternative to unittest.mock and a way to retrofit tracing onto existing projects, with OpenTelemetry integration and config-driven tracing (simonwillison.net). Dumpleton states every line of code and documentation was written by an AI assistant under his direction and explicitly rejects the vibe-coding label: the AI was the means of production, not the source of the design. That is the distinction I have been fumbling toward for a year and he named it in one sentence.
