Question

You're debugging why a script can't connect to your company's Postgres database, and you want to ask an AI assistant for help. The error and the connection code both include the full connection string: `postgres://app:Sup3rSecret!@prod-db.internal:5432/orders`. You're about to paste the whole thing into the chat to get faster help. What's the problem, and what do you paste instead?

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.
