I stopped reviewing my agents' code. Here's what I do instead

    This is an LLM-written marketing blog-post about vibe-coding and token-maxing.

    I read big claims, no evidence.

    "AI code is non-deterministic and has risk. But human code is non-deterministic too, and it has the exact same risk."

    No, that's not true. LLM-written code has very different risks, like completely misunderstanding the requirements, adding in hallucinated features, and losing sight of what the codebase actually does (massive tech debt).

    I should ask, who writes the unit tests? And how do you write the unit tests beforehand? What if you need to prototype in order to figure out the shape of the API? The setup used here is so far removed from any software safety or software quality concerns, it would be hilarious if it weren't sad.

    Stop posting marketing content void of any real information, please.
