Sometimes when I vibe code, I also have a problem with the code, and find myself asking: “What went wrong with the system that produced the code?”

The answer is clear: I didn’t write the code, I didn’t read it, I have no idea what it does, and that’s why it has a bug.

That as it may be. I spot bugs a lot faster when I didn’t write the code than when I did.

>>Aeolun+p4
Well, I’d wager there are quite a few more bugs, so naturally it should be easier to spot a few.

When you write code yourself, you're convinced each line is correct as you write it. That assumption is hard to shake, so you spend hours hunting for bugs that turn out to be obvious. When reading AI-generated code fresh, you lack that assumption. Bugs can jump out faster. That's at least my naive explanation to this phenomenon
