Question
You're a backend engineer who has spent six years in payments and almost none in front-end CSS. In one afternoon you ask an AI agent to (a) implement a new idempotency-key strategy for your refund endpoint in Go, and (b) build a responsive pricing-table layout in CSS/React. How much should you trust the AI's output on each, and how should your verification effort differ given that you're an expert in one domain and a novice in the other?
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.
