> You seem to have this fundamental belief that the code that's produced by your LLM is valid and doesn't need to be evaluated, line-by-line, by a human, before it can be committed??
This is a mistaken understanding. The person you responded to has written on these thoughts already and they used memorable words in response to this proposal:
> Are you a vibe coding Youtuber? Can you not read code? If so: astute point. Otherwise: what the fuck is wrong with you?
It should be obvious that one would read and verify the code before they commit it. Especially if one works on a team.
We should go one step past this and come up with an industry practice where we get someone other than the author to read the code before we merge it.
I don’t understand your point. Are you saying that it sounds like that wouldn’t happen?
I’m being sarcastic. The person you are responding to is implying that reading code carefully before merging it is some daunting or new challenge. In fact it’s been standard practice in our industry for 2 or more people to do that as a matter of course.
