This is why the quality of my code has improved since using AI.

I can iterate on entire approaches in the same amount of time it would have taken to explore a single concept before.

But AI is an amplifier of human intent- I want a code base that’s maintainable, scalable, etc., and that’s a different than YOLO vibe coding. Vibe engineering, maybe.

My core uses are 100% racing the model in yolo mode to find a bug. I win most of the time but occasionally it surprises me.

Then also switching arch approaches quickly when i find some code strategies that are not correctly ergonomic. Splitting of behaviors and other refactors are much lower cost now.
