Question

You're mid-task with an AI agent optimizing a hot gameplay loop in a C++ game engine — you've gotten the frame time down but you're handing off to another engineer because it's blocked on a profiling question. Write the handoff so they can continue the AI-assisted work without regressing what you've done. The codebase has subtle constraints: certain systems must run in a fixed order, and some 'obvious' optimizations break determinism needed for the replay system.

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.
