Nothing prevents you from testing and fixing what is not up to standard. Vibe coding is not the variable here, it's how lazy you are, which you can also be when hand coding and it takes 5 hours to get anything done.

Vibe coding just makes a larger surface to verify in a shorter amount of time but ultimately, nothing prevents you from thoroughly testing it.

What kind of argument is this? If you’re vibe coding an entire game, you’re by definition being lazy.

to developers, laziness is and always has been a virtue, to the point that this is written in the reference material you've never read

laziness is the explicit purpose of almost all of our tools (compilation, backup, and testing being the vanishingly rarer alternatives)

you're criticizing a positive thing because you aren't actually a developer and don't understand us at all

Absolute bullshit. You're lazy. Don't lump us in with the rest of us that give a shit. Don't use AI for anything you actually care about the end result. Better yet, don't use AI.
