Question

You have three AI options at hand: inline autocomplete (Copilot-style), a chat assistant you paste into, and an autonomous coding agent that can edit files and run commands across the repo. A task lands: 'rename the `User.fullName` field to `displayName` everywhere and update all call sites and tests.' Which tool fits, and why would the others be the wrong choice here?

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.
