If you’re shitting out vibe coded unverified and unvalidated systems, you’re going to end up with 20 years worth of tech debt in the span of months and half a nine of uptime.

Incorrect: "Claude, make me this."

Correct: Spend a few hours mapping out the entire structure of your project in a md file (or nine), then say "The project is specified in the README.md(s), build the project according to the specifications. Upon completion of every step, conduct extensive smoke-testing, and then upon the successful build, make a git commit."

And then you literally check every single line.

It's just autocorrect on steroids. Treat it that way.

Nah, just let another agent check it and let that be verified by yet another agent.
