This seems optimistic -- prescriptive, rather than descriptive. From what I've observed, vibe coders largely do not include tests; they do verify functionality/correctness, but not rigorously or repeatably.

Huh. The whole promise of vibe coding is that you don't have to pay attention to the details.

Yeah, of course. I don’t think what I described could possibly be misconstrued as someone paying attention to details.

"You're programming wrong wrong" /s

> Vibe coders focus on writing tests

From the boasting I've seen, Vibe coders are also using AI to slop out their tests as well.

Worry not, we can solve this by using AI to generate tests to test the tests.

Testing the tests is pretty much the definition of being a vibe coder.

Yeah and tests are much easier to validate than functions.
