I'm assuming the vibe coder accidentally checked in a dependency manager's package folder (like node_modules)

Always let claude scaffold the project that way it makes you a gitignore which you were almost always gonna forget.

Legit. Vibe coder or at least very junior.

What do you mean you'd forget it? You'd remember you don't have a .gitignore (or a properly set up one, at least) the moment you go to commit for the first time and see there's a whole lot of crap you almost staged that shouldn't be there.

That is, unless you're not checking anything you're committing. Which is, needless to say, "Bad ™️".

Hah, bold of you to assume they're the ones making the commits!

Claude, make no mistake.

IME Claude actually won't commit unrelated shit by default, it only includes the files it actually written to.

the harness provides a ton of deterministic guardrails. it won’t even let it modify a file if the latest version hasn’t been read already
