If the code is written in a language that no one can read it becomes vibe coded by definition. However, if it's a readable language then people CAN look at the diffs.

Microsoft, for all their warts, at least had the compassion to call their AI product "Copilot", suggesting we have some residual agency in whatever it is that it produces.
