Question
You need to rename a variable from `tmp` to `customerCount` in a 12-line function you wrote five minutes ago. Your instinct is to ask the AI assistant to do it. Is reaching for the AI the right call here? Explain when delegating a tiny edit to an AI is the wrong tool, and what you'd do 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.
Learn the concepts
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.
