Question

You asked an AI assistant to fix a failing test in your TypeScript code. Its first fix didn't work; its second fix made a different test fail. You're tempted to just keep prompting until something sticks. Walk through how you'd diagnose what's going wrong, and when you'd stop prompting and dig into the code yourself.

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.
