Engineer: Vibe Coding Is Fine—Verify Rewrites With Fuzzing, Not Line-by-Line Review
zetalyrae · x · 2026-11-08
Engineer zacker150 argues vibe coding doesn't mean skipping verification: instead of reading every line, rely on empirical tests, formal verification, and static analysis. Rewrites like Discord's are ideal targets—run the old code on tons of random inputs (fuzzing) and compare outputs; when they always match, the rewrite is done. He claims "everything is vibe coded these days" and engineers now herd AI agents rather than write by hand. zetalyrae quotes it with a wry note that people are doing formal verification on vibeslop.
