Reading the diff over blind accepts
Auto-accepting feels fast, but you're just accumulating debt. Actually look at what the AI wrote before you commit it.

Evolve from vibecoding to production code
The Manifesto
Actually understanding over just shipping
That code you don't understand today? Good luck debugging it at 2am. Know what you're putting in your codebase.
You're still the dev over AI does everything
AI writes code, you make decisions. It's co-pilot, not autopilot. Your brain is still required.
Code that lasts over code that works
"It works" is step one. "It's maintainable" is what separates prototypes from production.
Future you over current you
That "temporary" hack? It's going to be there for years. Write code like future you is going to review it.
Look, vibecoding is great
It feels like magic. Code appears at the speed of thought. Auto-accept and boom—your feature is done. It's addictive.
For prototypes? Hackathons? Exploring weird ideas at 3am? Vibecode away.
But then you ship that prototype. Users touch it. It breaks in ways you never expected because you never actually understood what you built. Production is different.
The code you don't understand today is the bug you can't fix tomorrow.
So here's the deal: same AI, same speed, but you actually read the code first. That's vibepairing. Revolutionary concept, I know. 😅
How Vibepairing Works
AI writes code
Same as vibecoding. AI generates whatever you asked for.
You read & think
Wild idea: look at the diff before accepting. What did it do? Does this make sense? Will future you understand this?
Then you decide
Accept, tweak, or reject. You're the human. Act like it.
