PhD student's take on vibe coding: review agents like your advisor reviews your slides
deepakns · x · 2026-10-12
A PhD student reframes the fear of 'losing control while vibe coding': if her advisor Michael can usually figure out what went wrong with a project just by looking at the presentation — never reading the code — she should be able to review her coding agents the same way.
Quote-tweeter deepakns says this is exactly the skill he wants students to develop: it comes from spending time reading, processing and thinking, and can be developed with patience and understanding.
