Question
You asked an agent to add caching to an expensive API call in your Java service. Its first attempt cached with no expiry (stale data); you said 'add a TTL'; its second attempt added a TTL but caches per-request inside the request scope, so the cache never actually survives between calls. Each fix addresses your literal words but misses the intent. How do you re-steer, and when do you stop?
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.
