I don’t really care about vibe coders but as a dev with just under 2 decades in the field:

  1. Your vibe coding shit will not go to prod until humans fully review it
  2. You better review it yourself first before offloading that massive mental drain to someone else (which means you still need to have some semblance of programming skills). Don’t open a PR with 250 files in it and then tell someone else to validate it.
  3. Use more context. Don’t give it vague ass prompts.
  4. Don’t use auto-accept. That’s just lazy asshole shit.

I can’t stress this enough: if you give me a PR with tons of new files and expect me to review it when you didn’t even review it yourself, I will 100% reject it and make you do it. If it’s all dumped into a single commit, I will whip your computer into the nearest body of water and tell you to go fish it out.

I don’t care what AI tool wrote your code. You’re still responsible for it and I will blame you.

When I see a sloppy PR I remind people “AI didn’t write that. You wrote it. Your name is on the git blame.”

Love it, I have a vibe coding colleague I will use this with.

I like this mentality. I might start telling people the same thing
