This sounds like a recipe for destructive bugs and security vulnerabilities to slip into production.

Reviewing is really hard to do well. Like, on a psychological level. Your brain just starts nodding and humming along, pretending to understand. Humans have to consciously "perform review" to actually review. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling and checklists in aviation and health care, Tom Gilb's "Inspection" JPL-inspired spec review processes.

Even HN gets a steady drip of "look at my vibecoded project" -- "umm, you just leaked your API keys".

It's just that reviewing doesn't matter for a space invaders clone.



Reviewing isn't nearly as hard if you told the model exactly what to write already: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/using-llms-for-code/#t...
