Question

You asked an AI assistant for a Python function that reads a JSON config file and returns the parsed dict. It gave you a clean three-liner that opens the file, calls json.load, and returns the result. It works perfectly when you point it at a good file. What did the AI likely leave out, and how do you decide whether that omission matters before shipping it?

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.
