alt Hacker NewsYou do realize that it's possible to ask AI to write code and then read the code yourself to ensure it's valid, right? I usually try to strip the pointless comments, but it's not the end of the world if people leave them in.

The comments aren’t the problem.

IMO reading code is usually harder than writing code.

You could add your own instead, explaining how things work?

Sure, but then it would not be vibecoding.

Yeah but you're leaving out a crucial part: the code is full of useless comments.
That leaves 2 options:
- they didn't read the code themselves to ensure it's valid
- they did read the code themselves but left the useless comments
No matter which happened it shows they're a bad developer and I don't want to run their code.
