Question
Leadership wants to extract the 'notifications' domain out of a Rails monolith into its own service, and proposes having an AI agent move the relevant classes and wire up an HTTP client where the in-process calls used to be. As the senior on the project, what's wrong with treating this as a code-move, and how do you scope the work and verify behavior is preserved?
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.
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.
