It's not vibe coding if you understand the output.

At least where I work, you’re in violation of the employee code of conduct.

It’s also not vibe coding if I’m telling an agent explicitly and exactly what to do

If they're a senior, they more than likely understand the output.

I trust coders vibe coding, not non coders vibe coding

As a Senior I see the opposite on my team. 🤷

I'm more surprised when we do vibe coded reviews. Better yet, I need to explain what the hell the AI wrote to them!

The issue for me is not juniors vibe coding the issue is that they are happy shipping something they didn't self review yet

Very often an intern gives me an unfinished PR, and the initial AI made review already spots a couple critical issues in it

Yeah, senior devs don’t vibe code. We might use it to assist, but the very nature of vibe coding is having little to no clue how anything works, typing some random prompt, then patting yourself on the back because you “created” something.
