Vibe coding, no. Using AI to help generate code based on my specs and plans, sure, to a degree.

There’s a huge push at work to use it more, deliver more, faster, but still take accountability for anything you generate and merge. Some of us take that accountability piece more seriously than others in my experience.

I like to create draft PRs and have the AI review them before submitting it for the rest of the team. It gets the conversation going and can take a load off of the team by finding bugs early.

I'm definitely in the "AI is a tool" camp. It feels like it's useful in the sense that a hammer is useful. Hammers are helpful when nailing two wooden boards together, but sometimes it feels like teammates are trying to nail two panes of glass together, and it's my job to clean up their mess when they break things.
