Question

You need to add a new rate-limiting layer to a high-traffic Go API gateway: a token-bucket per API key backed by Redis, with graceful degradation if Redis is unreachable, plus config, metrics, and tests. How do you decompose this for an AI agent — which pieces do you delegate, which do you keep, and where exactly do the human checkpoints sit?

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Describe your solution

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
