Comment on Ask HN: Is vibe coding a new mandatory job requirement?

Comments

The accountability asymmetry feels like the real problem. The person prompting claims completion; the reviewer absorbs the cleanup. That gap exists because there's no record of what the agent actually decided — just the output, not the sequence that produced it. If you had a trace of tool calls and decision points, at least you'd know where the slop came from and who should own it. Right now review is just guessing backwards.
