None of this actually proves that they aren’t writing slop. It just proves that the slop that they’ve written passes your tests.

Never ask a vibe coder about their code’s performance.

I never understand why you wouldn’t want to read the code. I prevent a massive amount of correct slop by just skimming. The LLM will 10 times out of 10 never ask “this code will be a massive duplication of exact same behavior, do you want to refractor it?” because it’s trained to finish a task without asking if possible. Uncle Bob now writes code for his tests instead of tests for his code. I know it’s TDD but it always seemed backwards to me. Unit tests for logic, integration tests for outside apis, e2e for features is the sweet spot IMO.

It’s not his tests. It’s the ai writing tests.
