Vercel engineer's 5-step quality workflow for vibe coders
brandon_galang · x · 2026-08-27
Day 28 of a workflow series from a Vercel engineer: if you're a non-traditional developer (a "vibe coder"), bake quality-forcing steps into your standard workflow:
- A planning stage
- Execution against that plan
- Validating correctness with tests (can be agent-written)
- A /deslop and maintainability pass (he likes Cursor's /thermo-nuclear-code-review)
- A final correctness pass
At Vercel, all PRs are gated by a code review agent, so step 5 is free; he handles the rest himself or with agents. You still won't write "perfect code," but you'll generally stay out of trouble.
