There's a lot of chatter about how vibe coding is going to fill the world with junk code. I think that's absolutely happening right now, but I'd bet it's largely because people take the first draft of an LLM's output and ship it straight to prod. That's absolutely bananas to me.
Instead, you can use an army of LLMs to meticulously hunt for dumb bugs in your code (whether AI- or human-written). I guarantee you they will find weird bugs you never thought of (often nitpicky, but still).

What this process can't do: - Tell you if your original idea was a bad idea - Tell you if the added complexity is worth the benefit - Tell you if any customer actually wants the feature What it can do: - Find dumb bugs - Question your assumptions - Make you realize there are so many dumb bugs that the feature is probably not worth it in the first place If the agents are having a field day tearing apart my PR, then I usually reconsider the entire premise.
