Question
A production Node service is throwing intermittent 'ECONNRESET' under load and nobody knows why. One engineer writes a precise one-shot prompt describing the symptom and asks the model to 'output the fix.' Another points an autonomous agent at the repo and logs to investigate. For a murky, evidence-driven debugging task like this, which posture is right, and what does the wrong one get you?
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.
