we need to have a conversation

there's many ways to do AI coding. "vibe coding" is one way, "tiger mom" coding on the other extreme

i'd argue that today's AI's aren't ready for vibe coding. you usually need to keep them on a shorter leash and give them a lot of guidance

AI coding is too productive to ignore, if you do it well

the thing is, it's HARD to do well. it's hard to balance productivity (let the AI free) and quality (tighten down the leash)

vibe coding is at one end, give the AI full freedom. it's great for weekend hack projects, but will fuckup your repo

if you're doing AI coding well, you'll have

- a ton of markdown
- documentation, lots of it
- tests, more than you ever needed before

i hesitate to prescribe how things should be done, but these seem non-negotiable for real code
