Question
After a partial outage, leadership wants a one-paragraph explanation for a customer-facing status update. You draft it with an AI from the incident timeline. The AI writes: 'A brief networking issue caused some requests to slow down; no data was lost or exposed.' The actual cause was a deploy that exhausted a connection pool, and you haven't yet confirmed the 'no data exposed' claim. What's your process for verifying an AI-simplified incident explanation before it becomes a public statement?
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.
