the claude code team ethos, as far as i’ve been lead to understand— which i agree with, mind you— is that there is no point in code-reviewing ai-generated code… simply update your spec(s) and regenerate. it is just a completely different way of interacting with the world. but it clearly works for them, so people throwing up their hands should at least take notice of the fact that they are absolutely not competing with traditional code along traditional lines. it may be sucky aesthetically, but they have proven from their velocity that it can be extremely effective. welcome to the New World Order, my friend.

the idea that you should just blindly trust code you are responsible for without bothering to review it is ludicrous.

While the technology is young, bugs are to be expected, but I'm curious what happens when their competitors' mature their product, clean up the bugs and stabilize it, while Claude is still kept in this trap where a certain number of bugs and issues are just a constant fixture due to vibe coding. But hey, maybe they really do achieve AGI and get over the limitations of vibe coding without human involvement.

yes, because who ever heard of an AI leaking passwords or API keys into source code
