Question

Your VP loved a vendor slide claiming '55% faster coding with AI' and wants you to prove the same for your 30-engineer org so they can justify the seat spend. You suspect the real picture is messier. Design the measurement: what do you actually track to know whether AI is helping or just moving work around, what vanity metrics will you refuse to report, and how do you avoid a measurement that makes the tool look good while the system gets worse?

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.
