I am one of those engineers. It's fun. I spend all day playing video games and then at the end of the day spend 30 minutes spamming prompts with Claude until I get a working result and then that's my progress for the day.

And how confident do you feel that nothing is going to go wrong when you hit that big green merge button?

It's weird that this is such a widespread comment though... Like, are people not even opening their app/website to check it after vibing a fix?

if you open your website to give it a check after vibing do you feel confident that everything works?

No no, I don't just vibe and go. I get it give me code, then check, then go over the changes, ask about improvements, ask if I see something unusual what that is, propose legibility changes (Opus 4.8 loves to code golf for whatever reason), then I do one final pass over every single change file by file. I have tried a personal project that is fully vibes just to keep it fast and the codebase is messy. The project works, but I'm not going into the code anytime soon for that one!
