Vibe Coding = Supervisor Role

Autopilots are great until you have to grab the wheel.

As a long time developer/SRE, I can say, we have reached the point of being supervisor/conductors of code. Embrace it.

I'm sitting here right now watching claude code run an hours long process to build a section of code, write the tests and then document it. Amazing

Understanding some basic code and system structure, even from a high level, is helpful. It will help you know when something is not right. e.g. why is this page taking 10 seconds to load? Why is my cloud bill $500?

AI is just coming into its own, we are early. Treat it like a baby that just learned to walk. Don't leave the front door open or the stove on. You are the adult in the room.

My suggestions is just go for it and spend some time asking it, "Is this still heading toward the goals I set out?" "Have we reached MVP and can launch?" "What could go wrong and write-up some solutions."

Cheers
