Yeah exactly. The other day I caught myself prompting Claude a very specific question about the code architecture for something I'm working on to have it refactor something I intuited about the code, and realized that I could only ask that because of my decades of software development experience. No vibecoder without those decades could have asked that, and in doing so, I saved my company I don't know how much in future code debt issues.
New interview question. Tell me about a time that AI generated bad code for you, and how did you fix it?
Good question! I think I'll use that as a counter question next time I interview. Ask a technical member of the team I'm interviewing with how they handled that situation.
