Question
You hit a confusing error from an unfamiliar Bash script in your deploy pipeline and have two reasonable moves: ask a chat assistant to explain what the script does and why it's failing, or point an autonomous agent at the repo to just fix it. The script touches production deploy commands. Which AI approach fits, and why is the other one risky here?
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.
